Evening Rob. I'll bolt it down someday. Just want to be sure of the location...

 

Hey Charlie! I got out of cleaning my office! How'd you doo?.........lol

 

Pretty good!

went out and knocked all the snow / ice off the canopies, cleaned the walks, greased the skid steer, and played with the 302 I'm rebuilding in the shop.
Back in to "research" the 302. Research is a slow and trying process

 

Oh, but very rewarding! Like my 600hp 428cj.................

 

LOL, so far what I have planned should show around 350 hp. not bad for a small block

 

I'm a big block guy, what can I say!..............I do love big cubes...AND big *****!................lol

 

I like my big blocks too. This is just the winter beater/ flea market truck. Just needs a little umph...

 

350hp just for a beater?

Hate to see what you need for your flagship!

 

 

Thought you would like the above picture for your files. Two other things, I found a guy who has, or had, a Cincinnati No. 1 1/2 Universal Milling Machine and was restoring it back in 2009. I sent him an Email to see if he still has it, and told him what you have been up to with your. If he still has it and desires conversation, I'll give him the link to your rebuild post so he can join up with you and you guys can share, bond, whatever. It looks like he is still active on the site so should hear from him within the next couple of days.

Second item, I think you have heard this statement many times, "I know this guys". Anyway there is a guy locally in John Day that has been working at the local welding and machine shop. I think this guy would be a source for you to bounce ideas off of or if you get stumped. The only reason I mention this is because he is 80+ years old and is still working two days a week. He would be pre-computer and might be a good source, just a thought. If you would like I'll PM his name and number.

 

Thanks for the pic Rob! I saved it to my mill file! And yes to both items! I've been searching all over for any info on my mill, but it's so old nobody knows anything about it........

That's my Mill! Couple minor differances, but the same basic machine. I didn't realize I could do spirals on this type of mill. That means I can do rifling...............Hmmmmmmmmm Oh the possibilities.........

 

Does yours have those front brace-bars? I don't remember seeing them.

Of course, you could always fab some for added rigidity.
