My bad.
Yep, mid plate is also the BOP adapter from the 500 cad to SM465 trans. Motor is solid mounted as well as everything else.

Generator ?
Nope, no generator. We're back up and running though. May be a flicker to two for the next couple days while repairs continue but we do have electricity again.
2 computers at the shop were fried. Neither of these computers were anything special. The shop is somewhat of a harsh environment so we use, refurbs and rebuilds as much as possible and when they die, we replace and move on.
Tail end pretty much buttoned up.
Some lines making their first appearance.
A shot of the beadlocks in the lathe.
The OD radiusing
Some crankshaft knife edging and polishing. The lathe was just used for holder. No turning was done.
Ah yes, the standard "so fake it's not here" photo...

Yep, went back and removed it from the post.
Dash prewire is pretty much finished. New beadlocks are a done deal. Got a winch to rebuild and a front bumper to hash out for winch fitment. Airlines to run. Then there is a mess of drivetrain work to do.
List is getting short though.
I'll try to get some more pics up tomorrow.

Looking good
So what did you change on the motor?

Spun a bearing in the previous engine. This one is a full rebuild.

I know I asked before, but in case things have changed, - any plans of possibly offering motor mounts or mounts & crossmember setup to place a 472/500 so that the rest of the Chev drivetrain would be left in stock location?

We have something in the works for engine mounting adaptation but a cadillac piece may be further down the line. There are some fairly popular swaps out there that are a bit more attractive from production stand point.
