Finished product with plenty of clearance for the starter. It has to be raised because of an "ear" that sticks out of the big block. | I used painter's masking tape from the inside over the holes and then installed the starter to help, before applying the JB WELD filler. The tape won't stick to the JB Weld and is easily removed when it gets hard. I ended up with the holes covered and filled and about an 1/8th inch clearance around the nose of the starter. And then I just repainted to cover and hide the repairs. | You can see here the two small areas that broke thru the case. If a hole saw was used that whole area would have been opened up. and lost. | This "LOOKS" like a big hole but it is about a third of what the hole saw would have removed. |
Here again you can see how much of a gouge you would take out of the case with a hole saw. it would have taken most of the outside bosses and ribs out as well. | This is the actual adaptor. It's very easy to set up and understand the instructions. All hardware was included except the torque converter to flexplate bolts. | You can see by this picture, how much A&A transmissions wants to have cut out for starter relocation. By using a burr tool on a die grinder most of the integraty of the case can be saved. They want you to use a 3" hole saw but I couldn't hold it. It kept jumping out of the notch. | |
