  3. A got a few IMG_7134.jpeg
    Came in handy. For the SBC to flathead I had an adapter I bought for $50 over 10 years ago for the heck of it.
    Had the correct SBC FW and correct clutch pieces in my junk yard plus a few 3 bolt starters.
    Found a nos pilot bushing adapter for $15.
    so when I get a new TO bearing I’ll still be under $200 for the swap.
    Not bad
