Title: FE To MEL Swap
Post by: chris401 on August 06, 2019, 08:38:20 PM

Working in the 430 to the bare chassis before I pull the FE out of my daily driver. I will post pictures on this site after I have gotten a little further.

This one is on the crankshaft. A local machinist made a spacer and deleted his pump. Don't remember what he did for the crank spacer.
