I removed the engine and gearbox today. It makes it a simple task to remove as one piece using an engine tilter :grin2:
I am getting the engine ready to pack in a crate. A mate has purchased it for his 57 Chev.
Next job is to get rid of all the vacuum hoses, heater hoses and hide as much of the wiring as possible.

For the Legend 700 gearbox I decided to use a reproduction 621 GM bellhousing. The casting is about double the thickness of my original 621 housing.
I checked the bellhousing to crankshaft alignment. The total indicated runout came out at 0.007" or a misalignment of 0.0035".
5 thou is the maximum misalignment before offset dowels are required.
To keep with the blue theme of the car I had the red anodising stripped from the MSD crank trigger bracket and done in blue.
The throttle body was originally anodised a pale purple which I also had stripped. I then polished this.
