    Broke another flexplate, what am I missing?

    Everything is internal balance except 400 and 454. (Stock stroke Chevy sb and bbc.) If you had a 350 fp on a 400 or vice versa you would know real quick. If your crank pilot and the nose of your converter is not correct that will put your entire trans in a bind. I’ll say it again first thing...

    Broke another flexplate, what am I missing?

    Torque spec sounds correct to me without checking. Did you use blue thread locker? Are/were the bolts loose? (In the conv/and fp. The only reasons it would crack is because it’s loose and wobbling around /vibrates if it’s pulled back from pilot being to small for the converter and or being...

    Broke another flexplate, what am I missing?

    I had 2 flexplates brake teeth off and after extensive inspection I discovered that the nose of the converter was too big for the pilot in the back of the crank. Measure both with a dial/digits caliper and check your measurements. If the nose of the converter is jammed or in a bind it will...

    Here are the upper and lowers for the 67-72 Chevy truck. This guy wanted simple and inexpensive. So this is the design he wanted. To save on cost We reused his panel bases.

    Custom Made cover for a Bench seat

    No more seat work today. I was lazy and only cut out/fabbed the blanks for door panels. I’ll post more pictures tomorrow. This time I’ll take pictures of building the patterns out of the leather hides.

    Custom Made cover for a Bench seat

    This is the very center of the seat, the French stitch doesn’t show up very well in the other pictures ther is a double French stitch on both sides of the center. It gives the illusion of bucket seats in a bench. The leather hides and ostrich was the customers choice.

    Well not only rain but snow. The boys voted to work anyway. The youngest is over at my buddy’s working off some of the bbc parts he got from him.

    Does rollerizing a 454 really make a difference.? Not for racing, just a street brute.

    For towing you will have to lower your rpm expectations about 1000 to 1500 rpm. Absolutely give all the info you can to your cam grinder and ask their opinion on compression ratio cylinder head mods. It’s always a good idea to have the engine balanced especially for towing and higher sustained...
