Subject: A Bit of Progress 2nd Update
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.
