Any Old School Machinists Here?

Yikes, yeah I guess if a fixture could be made it could be easier but that sounds like a pain in the butt

A small block Chrysler won’t need a plate for the timing cover end. And you can probably use the timing cover mount for almost any V8.

Same for the bellhousing end. Make a plate. That’s what machinists do. Make **** and use the tooling you have to get the job done.

Many a shop has gone broke buying tooling.
