Can't find a spacer plate that will fit my 71 302. I have an aluminum bellhousing and a 164 tooth flywheel. Summit doesn't seem to have it. Can't...
That's a great tip! Thank You!!
I've got an aluminum bellhousing - C5AE-6380-E and a 164 tooth flywheel C7TE-A. Having a hard time finding a starter.
That's a good idea. I might be able to cut back the spring plate to clear,
The block I have is a '74 Mexican block. Caps are larger and was recently rebuilt. I'm using that block & rotating assembly with the 351 heads, a...
Bought the spacer. Thanks!
I have access to a machine shop...been so much work to get where I am now, but you're right. If I set those up in a mill and plunge straight down...
I need to find a way to cc those heads - they were at least ground and may have been milled. The finish is fresh & flat.
That's a good article. The book I have been using to locate & ID parts is the one they refer to at the end of that page in the article. [IMG]
The D0OE heads have 60cc chambers, 1.84 intake valves & 1.54 exhaust. The guy I got these heads from bought them for a Mustang he was building in...
That's what I'm thinking, but everywhere I look - the 164 tooth flywheel starters are $$$$
Just answered the $84 question...water jackets and gaskets. Wasn't sure if I was getting 302 gaskets or 351 gaskets.
I have the same heads D0OE. I picked them up because they were fresh- new valves, screw in studs, etc. The valve & port size is larger & I've read...
...that's a different perspective..funny - but you're right! I've put this thing together and worked on problems for 2 yrs now every night in...
I'm putting 351W heads on a 302. Comp flat tappet cam, new springs, lifters, chain, etc & a new Edelbrock RPM manifold. I bought the inserts to...
I think you're right - then add offset shackles in back. When the new disc brake kit gets here, it may not be a problem. I'll know in a couple...
Not sure about the different backing plates - another good idea! I'll check it out!
I'll take a look...the bearing still has to fit in the housing...don't know - good idea - I'll look! Thanks!!
Looked tonight - I think if the disc brake conversion doesn't work - the springs have to inboard or a 4 link. The spring work will cost less..but...
1st go-round for me. I thought I had it..all looked good. The lower part of the backing plate is embossed out and hits the spring mount on the...
I've had the rearend in & bolted - tires & wheels miss...not by much & yeah - I planned it..just not good enough!
I narrowed my 9" to fit a 63 Falcon. Now the drum backing plates hit the springs. I need about a 1/2" more space than I have. I'm hoping a disc...
