Finally !!! Got something done on this beast. Money has been sooo tight. Managed to get a Hot Rod connecting rod new off fleabay for $50. I pressed the old one out and the new one in, I used dowles to align the crank weights prior and durring pressing the new together. I will put it in v-blocks and check the runout but I feel that design is fairly foolproof.

Thank God... progress. I was really getting discouraged with the build, I'm the type that has to be moving forward and seeing progress at least on a regular basis. Anyway radiators are bolted up, lower half of the engine is finally new and together. Now I need to order up the clutch, and piston. Thanks to all that helped advise me on the sleeved cylinder, I think I'm going to go for the limit and get the 88mm piston, when it can no longer be ringed or plated, that will be a good excuse to update the engine to a 90's verrsion.
