Driveline Progress

Took the transmission to Harold's shop in Denton. He has rebuilt two other 727s for me and I had no problems. Heavy workload means it may be a few weeks before it's complete, but I told him that was fine.

Engine went to Wayne Calvert's machine shop with the same agreement. In his seventies, he still builds high performance engines and has a stellar reputation in the DFW area.

I'll have to order pistons from ebay ad, as Calvert couldn't find another source. Cylinders were quite clean and he said .020 oversize would probably be fine, but I'll order .030 or .040, depending what the seller has in stock.
