Crash was simply trying to help your car go faster

Good plan of attack....your plan maybe enhanced based on my day on Wednesday.
Stay tuned

Funny, I have seen a steel bushing that lets BOP 4 speed guys use Chevy pilot bushings, but I am trying to get the best bushing available.

Dan, you always have the next big thing teed up:-) Tease!!

Isn't there a difference between auto and standard trans crankshafts? I seem to remember the rear of the crankshafts are different on the 400 engines. TAZ

Yup, Olds 350 auto cranks are not bored out at all for the pilot bushing:-(

I assume other Olds as well but 350 for sure.

Heading this week to get some small sheet metal pieces for the trunk repairs, pilot bushing, and hood stopper and hood stopper cowl piece.

Buying parts in Canada is too costly, I have to make a special trip as I always buy when I visit the US, but these pieces I had assumed would be patched only but upon further investigation it is better to replace. My MI friends Johnny Cariveau and Bill Stephenson have been hoarding parts for me:-)

More items ready to go:-)

I will use most of each trunk drop, and a quarter of the quarter. (Probably less)

The Chevelle hump is for later.
