Lord I will be glad to get back to some razor work!
Just stabbed a 383. I almost never pull a hood to extract/install an engine. I would have to enlist help and then I would owe someone. And where do you store it? Chances for nicks and scratches are great. Then getting it lined-up again,
Learned long ago to turn it sideways, clear the oil pan and begin to lower it while swinging the hoist over to the other side.
took 15 minutes!

Well, I have a comment. Tom changed the torque converter to one not so radical and never checked the flex plate fit.
Back out and the parts house came through...
Dirty tricks!

So, as of last post I had gotten the repair on this FBU scale pretty close but I still had some shape issues. Namely it was two spots where the patch didn't quite reach (green arrows) and the corner was not quite a hard square point like the other one (red arrow).
Of course the shadow at the bottom exaggerates it some but still, close but not close enough. I have not been able to leave it alone, and I have improved it but that corner I just can't seem to get as crisp as I want it.
It meets well and the shape matches closely whenock screwed together. Just drives me nuts.
Still, considering how it started I am pleased with the overall repair.
It had been cracked, broken, split and a poor repair done before I got it.
Let's hope it survives the drilling and pinningLast edited by PaulFLUS; 08-24-2022 at 11:50 PM.

Paul, sometimes you can bolt them together and contour sand them to match.
Slippery slope....
