Ok, got a flywheel and had to take it in to be resurfaced. Where the clutch disc rides is actually raised above the face of the flywheel about .035" or so, so it creates a step. Can't have that. So I had them grind it completely flat. Total cost of flywheel and grinding, $90. Not too bad I...

Yup, still have the governor off the Ford engine. Have to fab a bracket but that shouldn't be a problem. I haven't gotten rid of anything off the old engine yet. I'm gonna wait until the new one is in and working first. First thing I have to do it dig up a flywheel. The Toyota came with a...

Hi Taz. Looking at the parts book, the pump is coupled directly to the motor. There is an adapter plate that bolts to the flywheel which has (I am assuming) internal splines the drive the pump. The factory used a steel 'bellhousing' made from sheet steel that bolts to the back of the motor...

Well, go the head off. Wish I hadn't pulled it now. 2 of the 4 cylinders are cracked, another has deep rusted scores around the bore, and the other is not the best but is the best of the 4. Head has a lot of carbon build-up but is in good shape yet. I posted pics of the cylinders if they...
