Ok. This is going into my 1972 Gremlin! SUGGESTIONS please gentlemen!!Who has had the 1971-older V8 crankshaft machined and the steel bushing installed to fit a torque flite (727/904)onto the older style crank? Where is a good place/whats the cost? Can my local machine shop handle it? They are very good..but have never done this operation.I'm either going to build my engine as a 401 or a 1970 style 390. I have both crankshafts, a block,several sets of rods...etc..need pistons anyway...BUT the 390 crank (fresh 10/10)will need the adaptor bushing to fit a torqueflite. Starting with a bare block..etc...so can go either way.I'm sure that a 401 will be sufficent in my Gremlin(yup...nuts)...BUT i've had a real soft spot for a 390...(RPM's QUICK)ever since i had a MACHINE 30 years ago...any sugestions? Please reply directly also.Thanks alot,Joe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
