Spent about an hour last night googling the usual places for the CCS-1 or the Elgin for my 235 build. No dice, out of stock everywhere. Then this morning I clicked on it through Walmart, of all places. Wife has an online account and orders alot from them. Well whadya know, says 1 left of the CCS-1, so I had her order it. Hopefully their online inventory is correct and it'll indeed show up at my house a week from tomorrow (March 23).

The question then will become which cam bearings do I order for my '55 235? (It uses main bearings without the locator dowel in the top block bearing half, if that's a clue. Bottom cap bearing does have the dowel. Maybe that makes it a late '55 block, I'm not sure. Casting no. 3733949)
