Re: A Bit of Progress Update

did the crank have a large enough pocket for the nub on the converter to fit into?i had this problem once when switching to a automatic from a standard and the problem was that the crank was not machined out large enough for the nub on the converter and it locked the motor i had to pull the motor back forward and used a dremel tool to slightly largen up the recessed hole in the crank where the pilot bearing previously sat only needed to take a few thousands out to make it work

Nico,
One more idea. Is it possible that insufficient clearance was ground out of the block for the stroker crank?

All, last week posted a pic of my 520 on the stand after we fired it up,
had some minor leaks which were fixed. This past Sunday my son and I
installed the engine in my 63 Dodge 330 2dr sedan. All went well until
we tried to tie the flex plate to the converter (which had 2 bolt
patterns). Put one bolt in finger tight and then tried to go to the next
and found out we had put the first one the wrong hole but as we were
turning the engine forward to the next hole every thing locked up. Took
the plugs out no difference. I have to back the engine up 90 degrees
but can't using the crank bolt. Any idea what has caused the lock up? If
need be and I don't want to do this unless absolutely necessary is pull
the damper and use the crank turning tool to get back to the first bolt.
My concern is what has locked the engine up.
Thoughts?
