Drilling the plate under the front sounds like the most common sense way to go. I just need to verify that the rebuilder (Recon) has the plate under the front. Can't imagine that it would be an item left off as I'm sure it would figure into setting up the cam alignment/timing gears/cover. I just don't want to put out the bucks for an engine that will wind up decorating a corner in my shop.
I also noted that the distributor rotation in the 58 was counter-clockwise as opposed to clockwise in the 56.....haven't quite figured that out but they both use the same distributor so there can't be a whole lot of problems.
I've already got the adaptor plate water pump and understand my 139 tooth 6v foot-stomper flywheel will transfer. I think I'm "good to go".
Thanks again | | |
