Clean setup here Grip. Making some progress I see. Have you got a timeline on stabbing the engine and trans in?

Oh hell yeah!

what's an AN960 washer you ask?

AN960 flat washers are used under hex nuts to provide a smooth bearing surface, as shims to obtain the correct grip length for a bolt and nut assembly

in this pic you can see the bag of hardened washers I had (to big @ 1/2"), then you can see the 3/8 and 7/16 grade8 washers I was getting ready to use, and lastly, in the front the 7/16 AN960 washers that fit perfectly , but I still have to double stack them to achieve the correct thickness, looks good to me, any differing thoughts before I wrap this dilemma up?


pic of the AN960 washers in action:



each washer is .063 thick so I needed approx .126 worth of spacing.
I may try and find a single washer in that thickness rather than running two....

OD of the ARP bolt is .0472
ID of the AN760 washer is .0551
Are the heads of those bolts going to rub the TC?

hey have you thought about doing a table of contents page for this post, I've already gone to this post at least 6+ times, looking for info or pics. It'll make it easier not having to go threw 72 pages.
