Just a quick update . . . I welded the upper starter nut to the inside of the bellhousing . . . potential for disaster if nut or socket were dropped/fell inside the housing.
Also, the #87202-2 cap was too thick @ approx. .500 inches. McLeod provides a thin one @ approx .125/.1875 for other (my) applications. If you happen to order the wrong one, the possibility of input shaft to pilot bearing, drive shaft engagement, tranny mount brkt, and/or drive shaft engagement/length issues may occur. Check with Red at Mcleod and make sure you tell him your application . . . I wasted $80 some dollars in overnight freight costs only to find out parts work right.
Also, be sure to check tranny to cap/cap to bellhousing mounting hole commonality, you may have some drilling/tapping to do.
Good Luck!
Oh yeah . . . DON'T FORGET THE PEDAL STOP!
