Clarification:  The engine is in my friends local shop.  His buddy's buddy was supposed to be picking up the "special paint"... (high temp, bake on, similar to powder coat but with the ablility to touch up).   If he doesn't get it painted soon I'll be rattle canning it myself so I can get the engine in and running before summer is over!

That's pretty cool your engine is in the photo gallery.

Mike,

Glad you enjoyed them.  I'm happy to share.

Bing,

The engine project is going slow.  There is kind of a hang up at the shop where I took it to get painted.  Long story short, the shop had a buddy's buddy pick it up at the factory to save time and money.  That turned out, well, doing neither.  The other thing is I've just finished working 16 straight 12 hr days!  We will see what July and August bring.  For inspiration, I went to watch/listen to yours running and it says the video was removed.  Where did it go?
