Yes, a clean engine is a beautiful sight. Looking forward to washing this down tomorrow and painting it and commence final assembly. While engine was at shop, my Dad had always wanted a pristine engine bay. So in memoriam of my Dad, knocked all down to bare metal, painted chassis, firewall primed, will be painted this weekend, etc. Rewiring as required with cloth covered wire, patching miscellaneous holes etc. Should be a pretty sight when back together.

Figured out that mysterious hole, holds an internal splash shield, see photo

And a general question to the forum.

This came out in pieces, engine then transmission. I plane on bolting it all together before putting it back in, figuring I would never get that pilot bushing aligned under the car.

Comments anyone?
