The u bolt plates arn't a big deal. It's the center pin and the axle perch that need to fit nicely to keep the axle in place.
Your build is looking good!

Thanks you guys. That makes sense now; perch fits to the spring.
Appreciate it. Each thing that gets done is one less thing on the list...

Getting the bell housing cleaned up today. Supposedly my engine comes Monday. Motor mount with two bolts and one has a fancy nut spacer. And the threads were crossed to boot.
Bell housing threads are cleaned up now and will be sure to put all the bolts back in!

Probably tried to put an SAE bolt in its place. It’s an oddball 1.75 pitch that looks a lot like a 1/2x13.

Got some stuff done today. Cleaned up the bell housing and ready for install to the motor, supposedly tomorrow.
The center arm kit from Spector looks like it’s going to work. Got the old bushings out and new ones pressed in.

Forgot to tell you to check for radial bias on the center arm before you assemble. Road shock sometimes bends the hooked end of the arm.
Simple check: the flat on the arm where the drag link attaches should be parallel to top of the arm where you insert the bushings.

Yikes. Thanks Mark.
I went out and looked at mine- from what I can see it looks parallel, if I’m understanding your description correctly.

You have an oil-cooler water pump with a non oil cooler oil filter housing.

I can always count on your keen eyes, haha. So do folks cap the pump or cool the oil?
Don't cap the pump outlet. It will always fail at the worst possible time. Ask me how I know
Now your work begins !!!

One step at a time, one step at a time. That's all I can tell myself to keep my sanity! haha
Yep one step at a time. I`m right with you doing a F/2F swap over. I ran that water pump on my f engine and just used that extra port for the heater hose might not have been correct but worked.

Dumb question- this is the driver side rear motor mount on the bell housing. What attaches to this location? I don’t think I had anything mounted to this when I pulled the motor.
Id be more then a little choked they banded it without some kind of softner against the valve cover...

I've got nothing in mine. The forward, lower bolt shown has the bracket for the slave cylinder.
