very detailed and helpful thanks

good to know thanks for the fire wall, ive seen that demon, duster with a slant in it, quite the different car. you got a lot of station wagons too i found very interesting

thanks for the numbers, yep I don't think ill need more than 9.5 In ZA do you get a mix of Australia and USA parts for your hemis? I've seen a few models that were released there that we didn't get in NZ

this is a good idea I didn't think of that, would a 318 be the same housing as a 273?

2009 is an old thread but ill take it, saves me taking the gearbox apart, thanks, would be great to find a direct connection performance book but they seem quite rare

Hi Brett how did you get on with this I'm doing this now in New Zealand Thanks

yep, if i can get that concentric measurement we will be away, thanks, good to know the mounting bolts size yeah thats the idea, we might get a rough measurement of say 16" x 12" much appreciated, this is 50% of the work, I found an RB bell housing but no SBM yet, thanks very much,

yeah im thinking i will need to do this also, gotta make it happen some how

Hi Team, I have found a casting/tool maker to make a bell housing for me, I was going to get a lakeside and weld the hole and mirror it on the other side (New Zealand RHD) but the only hole pattern is SBM I had a look to find a template on here and Google but no such luck, I was hoping...

Hi Dave, Thanks for your patience, I've downloaded a few of them and will read through them later on, That's a handy link, Ill read up on that now

the crank centre makes sense, i thought they were all drilled to take a pilot bush for a longer input shaft but I guess not makes sense for this one to perhaps be a shortened "long" input shaft, and perhaps was suited to be put behind a non-drilled crank. at the time the owner perhaps thought...

i guess it is hard to tell if it has been altered yep I think Ill do that, Ill have to brush up on the imperial measurements. I do wonder why would some one shorten the input shaft in favour to run it in the convertor spigot ? that looks like a handy book, ill keep an eye out for one

Hi Dave, all good points here thanks. You make a good point with the gussets. If it has been shortened what do you think it has been shortened for and with an 18 spline? What's this MP chassis book you talk of? I did a search and couldn't find much about it. The machine job looks very good...

Yep no worries, I think that bearing is a off the shelf for a .75 shaft thats been cut down for whatever reason which makes sense, I wonder if that make one to suit a .6 shaft, ill have to see and look

i looked at the roller bearing on brewers and its sized for a normal size .75 shaft, so ill either have to make a sleeve or a stepped bronze bush with a .6 ID something like that, the 1st step may not be necessary but if i have it on the lathe and the material then why not. Thanks all for...
