Default Bellhousing

Thank you David!!

Installed parts I ordered from you without any problems. Seems that old Lakewood bellhousing will not work with new flywheel. Took a clay impression of starter and flywheel and it appears that the starter is out of position. Attemped to prove this out by trying starter prior to installing tranny. . . . I hear a grinding noise and stopped immediately. . . theory proved! (no damage)

Anyway, I am prepared to purchase the required parts and looked them up on the McLeod online catalogue. . . please varify if I have selected the correct ones:

Please note that my engine is a '71 429/460 and I have an aftermarket Mcleod mini starter for a Ford 429/460.

Mcleod #8747 motor plate
Mcleod #8743 housing
Mcleod #87202-2 cap

Please advise if these are all the parts I will need, and if you are able to get them for me.

Also, I hate to be a PITA, but your prompt attention to this is grately appreciated in that I must get these parts and have them installed by August 20th for Woodward Dream Cruise.

Any/all help or suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks again David,

Kim
