This weeks progress.
I needed to put the crank back in, to mount the flywheel, to fit the starter.
So I had to take a lot apart to put it back together.
The starter needs a .250 spacer to move back from the flywheel and a fixture to hold the bottom starter bolt. It looks like the V8 starter location will work and I won't have to cut a hole in the block plate. All this works because I have a starter that doesn't need a nose support.
I needed a TIG welder to do my frame mid plate mounts.
So I sold my MIG welder and bought a Primeweld TIG machine.
That came today, so I need to get up to speed on that.
Also got my valve cover back after getting it cleaned.
It's going to need polishing, but it is clean now.
Also found a Marine aluminum pan. Cast aluminum, 10 quart with baffles.
