I feel a little better about these parts. (I am learning what works with what)

Plan:

Lakewood 15100 bell housing, and fork, and front shield in Texas I will buy, but we have been trying to work out shipping:-( terrible! I will find a less expensive way to get these parts by hook or by crook.

Maryland flywheel and slip yoke are good to go, as I have been convinced there were be threaded holes for the 10.5 inch clutch or the 11.0 inch clutch:-) I hope to pick these up from somebody (Albert Galdi?) driving from that part of the world to MCACN (I should ask first:-)

Moving ahead and also I am happy to be making the car safer.

Fastenal (the nut and bolt company) I understand is really cheap, but that's only an internet rumor. You'll have to check that out for yourself.

Thanks!!

I will check, we use Fastenal at work so may be able to ship all the way to me for reasonable cost?

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I have a request into Fastenal to check shipping costs.

I have an order to pick up Friday (I hope) wire wheels and a nice Millwaukee angle grinder.

I have a call in to the machine shop to chat about my engine rebuild.

I really plan to get going again Saturday!!!!

Ryan

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I stopped by the engine machine shop and my crank (out of the warranty short block) is ground 0.010&quot; under and 0.010&quot; under.

My order of grinder etc. got delayed:-(

Ryan

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I used what grinder and wire wheel I had around to get started tonight.

The layer of crusty rusty stuff cleaned off fairly easily and the metal underneath looks perfect at the sample spot.

Metal looks pretty good after the clean up.
