Actually, that's a Van Norman cylinder boring machine, adapted to bore the block and rear main bearing area for a full-circle rear main bearing seal. The line bore machine is still sitting in Chicago, waiting for me to make a road trip and pick it up. Once I'm all set up, I'm considering offering machine shop services to bolters who want to ship a bare block to Tennessee via Fastenal. Since most machinists won't touch a stovebolt line bore job with a 20-foot pole, it looks like I might have the market cornered!
