Bill Hincher Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 drilling the bellhousing is an exact phase, all the previous work is no good if it dont line up. this is a center plate keyed to the rear of the bellhousing to index the raw casting in the right direction http://www.billsautofab.com/images/62rethinkingr154.jpg i like to use the flywheel I am using to center a raw casting, yeah, theres probably a lot of ways to do this , but you know? thats the flywheel thats gotta spin in the housing for a lot of time to come .;o) http://www.billsautofab.com/images/65rethinkingr154.jpg now that I have the raw casting chucked into the bridgeport in the proper index, i can drill it to the engine this is drilled to an AWD flywheel, I can drill my bellhousings to either an AWD or a FWD unit http://www.billsautofab.com/images/66rethinkingr154.jpg I add my seperater plates at this time because each one is a little different, I cant make them wholesale http://www.billsautofab.com/images/67rethinkingr154.jpg a lot of guys want to know how i center the transmission, the answer is kinda easy, I built a plate with the engine bolt pattern on it, then I index the plate to center http://www.billsautofab.com/images/68rethinkingr154.jpg I use inserts to imitate the engine bolt pattern , then mount the bellhousing on my imitation engine block http://www.billsautofab.com/images/69rethinkingr154.jpg I drill in my transmission guide pins next just to test the center, dont forget the trans facing must be indexed just as well as the engine plate, so everything must be 'in phase' that was per done when I used the backing plate to 'key' the raw casting before I drilled the facing http://www.billsautofab.com/images/70rethinkingr154.jpg I like to test center at this piont http://www.billsautofab.com/images/71rethinkingr154.jpg then I like to clean up all the mounting bolt surfaces with a home made cutter http://www.billsautofab.com/images/72rethinkingr154.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/75rethinkingr154.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
