Re: Bearing cap question
out of curiosity, why did you have to scrape it? If both engines cranks had the same journal size, i would assume the caps would have the same internal dims.

Steering box conversion
A local guy is hot rodding his 31 coupe. He didn’t want the steering column so I grabbed it. Upon closer inspection, it’s neither 7 or 2 tooth. Looks like a 32 box conversion of some kind. Anyone...
