A few quick updates, mostly good.
I’ve spent hours cleaning an already clean case and crank, and then more hours in assembly and disassembly with plastigage to verify what Peter Dawe already told me. Everything checked out dead-on.
Transmission cases ugh has to go out to CMS for some sleeving. Kevin said the races were too loose. I don’t have a final tally but this is not the synchro and dog tooth drive by rebuild. It is what it is and no use half-assing this (or anything else for that matter).

Oil cooler flushed out and holding 41PSI for 2 days. Thanks Adam!
Swapped out my fuel lines from tank to fuel filter with Len Cumming’s most excellent kit. I do have a new accelerator cable boot ready to go, along with the two transmission boots. Charlie Griffith has said this is a huge leaky area for outside air and add a few degrees to your cabin temps FYI.
Got my engine tins etc back from powder coating and had the AC bracket silver cerakoted- looks fantastic too bad it’s 90%hidden.
Fan housing is cracked- magnesium welding is not my thing so off to a friend to try before I spring for a reproduction for another $825 (!) part that doesn’t even make my car faster...

And lastly, waiting on CGarr for my heads and flywheel. He said he was slammed and the whole world took the virus quarantine as an opportunity to send their heads to him, and I guess that was true. Hopefully they go out soon. I will have the case buttoned up waiting for them by mid week so the timing probably adds a week.
