I can't knock you Will, I've been doing my N* conversion for almost as long as your engine rebuild has been going on. For the record, if we were racing, you'd be winning.

Any update on the fancy crank balancing act?

I gave the shop the data to take the first cut, but they have email issues. I was going to call back this morning but I got sucked into a morning meeting that turned into an all day meeting. I should have time tomorrow.

The shop was delayed due to the tropical storm...

Progress is slow but happening.
2nd cut has been made.
Crank will be shot blasted and journals will be cut today or tomorrow.
Straightening out a slight discrepancy in component weights before the final balance.
When it's done, you'll hear me hoot 'n holler.

I've been musing about anodizing the block. I don't think it's appropriate to try to do it myself, though. Anybody know a shop that can handle a piece that large?

What's the value add there?
If you're genuinely worried about corrosion, there are alternatives to anodizing like the Sanchem Safegard CC 6100. The stuff will add a mil-spec corrosion resistance to exposed aluminum parts on vehicles like HMVees. It goes on as a multi-step process after you clean the block with boat pontoon cleaner or other similar mild acid wash with a pH of about 3.
