Thanks, you've given some more things to consider. This crankshaft has only 1 alignment dowel pin. Believe that changed to 3 in '67 and newer. Double checking torque figures in Santucci's book show's 90 ft-lbs for 7/16" bolts vice 110 (1/2"). It doesn't really discuss washers.
Searching through the forum looks like star washers are not recommended by some very knowledgable folks but loctite is. Although frustrated that I have to do some rework I'm enjoying learning something new. Plus the bonus that I'm getting a little faster with tranny removals/installs.
