Finally got the 261 block and bell housing mounted on the "not so universal" HF engine stand.
I primed and painted the assembly, Detroit Deisel Alpine Green.
Hopefully today I can run a hone through the cylinders and begin installing a crank and some pistons!
Looking to get the gasket set tomorrow (fingers crossed).
