Re: The Duchess Project: 1940 Super 8 Convertible Sedan

The Duchess' '47 356 engine is in the shop at Central Cylinder Head in Portland. They recently finished my son John's 1962 Corvette engine. John is honchoing the cooling system and engine update.
The pistons and rings (40) and mains (20) have arrived from JD at Max Merrit. Jerry, Central's owner, ordered the rest from Egge, who could not provide the rest for another month or two.
Besides a new radiator core by Mac's Radiator in Salem and water pump rebuild by Automotive Friction in Damascus, we're pulling the heater because the motor's bearing needs to be replaced. The distributor is also being rebuilt at Philbin Electric in Portland.
