Here are a couple.
Hillbilly hones
"Spanner" socket for a nut on the motor on the Oliver wood lathe
Heat shrunk extension for a countersink. Made it to chamfer the lifter bores on my slant six.
These two are more techniques or tips I guess.
Using press to hold carrier to tighten ring gear bolts
Running a bead of weld on a bearing race to shrink it to remove from a bore.

Pinion setting tool. I only had my time I to making it, I'd honestly recommend just getting pinion depth set by trying shims and reading the pattern with setup bearings.
Especially we with how much the commercial ones cost.

Thank you.
It is an older Clifford 4 barrel manifold, Aussie cast Dutra Dual split manifolds, Quick fuel 450 carburetor, JP performance true double roller timing chain, Oregon Cam Grinders custom ground cam, .100 machined off the cylinder head for a little compression, 5 angle valve job. The valve cover is a low production cast piece from Argentina. Later electronic distributor triggering an HEI module and vortec coil.
