- Tank is out---trunk/hatch area is in poor shape. I'll post pics later.
- Driveshaft/tranny/bellhousing out--- had to jack the front of the engine up to lower the rear of the engine in order to get to one bolt on the clutch side of the bellhousing
- Having trouble getting the passenger side motor mount unbolted. Back of Ratchet hits starter, won't go over nut........ open/box end wrench hits engine on one side, frame on other
Been trying to find the right size wrench to remove the starter, to no avail.
It feels like an allen head bolt.. I can't remember what it was when I pulled the starter this winter???. Got way irritated and had to come out from under there!
Had to come upstairs and eat a PB&J........ I forgot to eat today and was getting irritated and weak. I'm on my second one!
Reid,..... yep, the stroker motor is in the works, too. Still need a few parts:
-Rear main seal adapter(to 300 crank) gets rid of old rope type seal.....
-Adapted flywheel to mate the starter and ring gear. 300 crank is 0.56" longer than 215.
-Larger clutch for flywheel(I think it's 10.4") currently stock 9.5"
Gotta contact D&D Fabrications(215 Guru, Dan LaGrou) to get any other parts and pieces I'm sure I'll need.
I've got the basics on hand........ 300 crank, 300 front timing cover(for correct timing marks), 300 harmonic balancer on the way.
Clyde....... You're hired. You work for PB&Js, don't ya?????
