Always like to see pics of a motor build. Nice job,,keep um coming.
Know I've said this before but it sure is nice that GM kept some things the same for so long. For you younger guys, which is just about all of you,,see those 2 bolt holes on each lower side of the chain cover,,those bolt holes have been there since the first Chevy V-8,,the 265 cu.in. and they were for the front motor mounts in the 55 Chevy. Front mounts dropped in 58 I believe but never changed the mold. So, if ya happen to want a late model small block in a 55, all you need are the front mounts plates, no adapters needed.
