In my case I've started back up on a new engine build (kind of a long story).  I have a '65 FC 110/PG case (RX code) that I checked at last weekend's local club meeting, it looks really good - only the rear main bearing oil slot needed a little matching and the cam bearing on the gear end measured less than 2 thousands clearance.

I have a pair of 95 heads I'm prepping - deflash and port clean up - and a good set of rods that have about a gram weight spread.  Once the heads are ready they, the rods, and a set of barrels will go off for machining.  I haven't picked out a crank yet, but likely that will go to Moldex in Michigan, I've heard good things about them from the aircraft guys.  It's a little pricey but I've seen enough broken cranks that I want to do this one right.

Not sure when this will actually get done, but that's where I'm at.
