A Bit of Progress 2nd Update

[Nico Over <nover@xxxxxxxx>]

All, found out that the one converter bolt we installed was hitting the 
block and locking everything up. Because of the bolts location with 
reference to the block it was almost impossible to turn it in enough to 
clear the block, however my son accomplished just that and using the 
mother of all pry bars against the converter teeth we were able to move 
the engine backwards enough to tighten the single bolt that was 
installed. We then quickly went through the remaining 3 bolts, 
tightening them in sequence and torquing them down. Our hypothesis is 
that you cannot finger tighten the bolts and then go and torque them to 
specs, you have to torque them as each is installed. Whether true or not 
the the engine is now bolted to the converter and turns with a breaker 
bar on the crank bolt. Yeah! Hope to have the 520 running this weekend 
in my 63 this weekend.
