Kirk,
There were a few issues I had to find a way to convert the engine from
automatic to stick flywheel. Drilling the flywheel to fit the LR 9.5
pressure plate & making the crankshaft bushing to fit the LR trans
mainshaft. what I expected to be hard was making the engine mounts.
Which used mid fifties engine front mount brackets & LR engine rubber
mounts. I made a cross member with 1 1/4 sq tube which cleared the
original mounts which are still in the frame.
The biggest issue was cutting the bulkhead about 1 3/4 on the left & 1
1/2 on the right side for clearance even those modifications were made
with a 4 1/4 cutoff wheel in the grinder & some welding pop rivets could
have been used but I welded it.
Yes there are pictures which I can send off list.
