I had a friend cut 2 blocks. Then he welded them to gather. Now he is looking in to a way to cut the block and have a way to bolt it back to gather with the crank in it. All of the ways he as to cut the thing will make the cut to big and it would have to take a shim or a very thick gasket to keep the block right for the jug. He said it will be a little before he can get it done. He is doing it at work in his shop but he can only have time to work in it on brakes and lunch.

I guess we will see how it works

The crank is going to be a little harder to do.
