It's my b-day weekend! Figured I'd upload some pics before I get distracted with music, beer, food, and college football next couple days
Took time and careful research, testing, measuring stuff to ensure it all went smooth.
-GenIII's don't have 1 o'clock trans bolt hole.
- Torque converter fit in the crank pilot hole good. Red loctite flexplate bolts, torqued to spec.
- Mated up nicely. Clearance/tolerance came out fine.
- Blue loctite bolts, torqued to spec.
- Engine cranks over by hand smooth, no rubbing, no noises.
