not sure if it's what you want but, Chris did you see this? [FOR SALE] - 1971 440 engine @dukeboy_318

engine out - torque converter out - flex plate dealt with - everything reinstalled - headers on - starter in (though not wired) - remote oil filter put back on fire wall... doesn't sound like much, but DAMN that was no fun - one of those days when everything fights back..

What was the final issue with the flex plate?

What was the final issue with the flex plate?

holes weren't perfectly round - filed all four of 'em just a touch and it went together slick as whale snot

Danke I'll check it out

 

[ScampMike]

I figure it was "seated" to the other tc, possibly over torqued on the bolts a bit - even after I filed out the holes it was a very tight fit - to the point that I initially though ruht roh.. dis here is f**kated up...

 

[ScampMike]

then boom - it went.... WHEW!

 

[ScampMike]

the flex plate was on right to start with - here it is right after I set it down today

 

[Ddaddy]

Well, that's an easy fix. Beats the hell out of having the wrong converter...

 

[ScampMike]

got the tc and flex plate on the bench and after just a bit of filing - fitated like it spossed ta

Mike's a typical New Englander, the more you tell him to do something, the more he resists it...even if it means dying with the words "I told you I wouldn't do it" on his tombstone just to spite you.

Howdy Mike. Another beautiful day of grey and wet here. I am starting to embrace it. I see you have the flex plate on,Congrats. I'm about 90% in on selling the cuda . If the guy actually shows up with the cash today I think it's a done deal.
