Hey All,
I have talked to Tom about this engine and promised specs. Well I moved twice and finally found them! I also have a few questions. Originally, this was going to be mated to a Muncie. Well not yet. TH 350 with manual shift kit for now.

Ok Questions
Alignment Dowel on Crank- Crank is drilled for 1- It is not there. Is it necessary- If so, will it affect balance?
Block has Inline starter bolt holes- 153 tooth flexplate? I will be buying a new mini starter. Also any issues matching flexplate with a converter. What size converter, not stall, inches.
I have read the saga of Tom's converter. Someone wanted him to go higher with stall. Mine is going into a 72 C10 Longbox. Rear gear to be changed eventually to match. Ideas for Ratio and Converter Stall appreciated. We only have 1 Freeway here and the truck will not see it. Around town and light to light!
Exhaust- Single? Dual? Will I lose anything with Single, I thought I read the pulse is sequential and single doesn't slow anything down.
I am sure there is more. But this lets me move forward.
Thanks!
