I hesitated posting this as I think I know my answer but here goes.
I sold my motor with bellhousing. I am working on another old CE block that I had. I have crank laid in this block and it has not been line bored. I had another lakewood housing that I attempted to dial in. I was amazed at the reading taken in 8 clockwise positions.
Beginning at 12 o clock, CW rotation,, I am reading 33, 14, 4, 1, 8, 35,45,45. I also find this opening at 4.689 and my Tko at 4.675. I am beginning to think this b/h opening is not true at all and I see no ecomonical fix for this unless I was going to a toploader trans. Would anyone agree with me that I need to put this housing out in the pasture ?. This is out of one of my old race cars and I do mean old. I dont think there are enuff offset dowels to correct this. Looks like I would need some .020 on one side and then be left to correct the 12 oclock reading.
So I venture off to locate a new Mcleod housing and I find two. # 8630 that includes a register ring and a 8653, which I dont know if this fits only GM trans or what, still waiting on Mcleod to open tech line. Does anyone have input here on this??
