Real progress today


Got the pistons back in the calipers and got them all ready to install. I need to pick up some pads this week.


I got the belhousing mocked up one more time with the .007 offset dowels. Its now right under the specs recomended by the manufacture. They say .005 and I am at .004
Don't buy the Lakewood brand offset dowels. Mine were bigger than the hole by about .003
Went and got Moroso ones and they were right on.


Installed the adapter pilot bearing to use in an auto crank. I have read mixed revues about these. Hopefully it will last 6-8 months until the 455 is built.


Using a Centerforce DF clutch set and a McLeod ajustable pivot ball.


Finally out of the box and bolted to its new home.
