Ready to come out	Quick and easy
Transmission removed for rebuild	Block ready for reassembly
New engine ready	Calyx on exhaust manifold. Video of Calyx here.
New engine installed	The block stamp reads V41 HP (1964 413) with a maltese cross (means .001" undersize on either crank or rod bearings). Date is 2 25 HP. (Feb 25, 1964). The car was built March 3rd so 2/25 is good.

April 2024. The rebuilt engine and the rebuilt transmission are installed. May 2024. We prepare for the first run of the engine. Now is the time for a fresh starter motor. I ordered one from NAPA. The new mini-starter style arrived. The clerk and I found a new rebuilt original style on the computer. We ordered it. A new mini-starter style arrived. Turns out Napa can't get the old style anymore but I hear O'Rielly's can. I decided to go with the new mini. The terminal connections to the battery cables is different and the terminal adapter hits the engine block. Some people remove the adapter and run the cables direct to the starter. My cables are too short to do this plus this routing puts cables close to the exhaust. We modified the adapter and installed the starter.

The first test of the engine went well. We ran it for 20 minutes to break in the cam. I noticed the temperature sender went to full hot when the engine was stone cold. It was the sending unit grounding on the AC compressor base. On AC cars, the temp sender has to be screwed into the block as deep as it will go to provide clearance for the wire. The compressor was unbolted, raised, the sender went deeper, reassembled and problem solved.

The back up lights were on whenever the ignition was on. The problem was old hard grease on the switch. Reassembly of the switch is particularly challenging. You can watch these adventures here.
