Nice work on the diff shaving Scott. What welding procedures did you use to weld the mild plate to the cast pumpkin?

mig it was...
Should I run electric fans or an engine driven fan. If electric, should I have the computor control it or have it on a switch?

I need a GM aluminum bellhousing for an SM465...

I am waiting on a few items like a bellhousing and pilot bearing to get the engine mated to the tranny and t-case, then I can install in frame. The axles are painted, assembled, and bolted on. Here are some older pics:

It's a tool that replaces the carrier. They work in different ways, some use dial indicators, others i've seen you can measure with feeler gauges. They all do the same thing and measure depth. I really don't care to find a picture, however it would explain much better than me rambling.

it makes the number engraved on the end of the pinion a little more useful

Thanks Captain Obvious. :flipoff2:

What I was asking about was did you pre or post heat? Any special wire, or just plain ol' solid core? I'm going to shave my new D70 before it goes it, just not sure how much I'm going to take off.

TIA.

kinda, the only problem i see is that the pinion is a little too deep on the ring gear ie. sticking out to far. Maybe take some shims out and it would be good. The best way to set pinion depth without a tool is to measure the old pinion head and shims and take that # and subtract the new pinion head and it will tell you how much shim to add, if that makes any sense at all

A deep pattern like that is actually what Richmond recommends for racing. They call it "competition pattern." As long as it's centered between the root and the crown seems to be the more important factor.

How many sets of gears have you done John? (Honestly not trying to start anything, just curious)
