Cool idea but damn that's going to take awhile. Plasma cutter for the bulk and a mill to clean it up would be the way to go. Fortunately it is cast iron and that stuff drills and mills like butter.

+1 If I can find a plasma cutter to borrow I will, if not well I guess I'll be seeing how death wheels and flap disks do with cast iron.

I'm working on getting some mill time but if not I guess it's going to be a patience game.

I may try to fabri-cobble together a counter weight or spring assist as I'm sure the cast heads aren't light.

Good news! I have a lead on a couple engines locally one 460 and one 360/390 (the old timer isn't sure which one it is) both are pretty complete so I might be able to get this going soon-ish.
