The glacier like progress on the gearbox is almost there, just need to install the gearshift stop plate, springs, and new outer cover, and it should be done. Then engine assembly is next, and I now have the drilling and tapping guides made as suggested by Mr. Comnoz, for Helicoiling the cases to install the CNW stainless head mounting studs as mentioned in the "Cylinder head bolts in stainless steel no or go" thread. I will probably have to shorten up the lead-in on the tap. I had forgotten how really heavy gray iron is, but UPS hasn't.
