Bearings arrived at the machine shop today. Maybe I'll see the block by the end of the week?
Installed my hood vent and started drilling out the old rivets. And replacing them with black rivets. May not be everyones cup of tea, but I think the black looks a lot better.

I think the final step will be getting some nail polish or something and painting the aluminum black. I wish I had done it before I riveted everything. I might still do it on the other side.
