Technical Drill and tap the crank on a 283??

There is a web site called 12 Bolt. com that sells a kit to drill a crank for a balancer bolt which consists of a drilling fixture, a drill bit, and a tap for $40.00.
I do not know how to post a link.
Could some do it?

Post #60 has the link

 

Had a senior moment.
I missed that.

Ahhhhhh there we go

 

Just don't go and use the crank bolt to draw in your balancer.

 

A very slow drill will be needed.

 

You gonna sleep real good tonight, ain't 'cha! I'da beat it on and ran it... LOL!

 

I don't beat on it much these days man, spend most of my time in the shop lmao!!! Ah i figured what the hell

 

Sleeper ,
The beauty of it is,,,,,Lloyd took his time ,,,did a good job,,,,,and if he ever needs to drill and tap something like this again,,,,he knows he can do it .
Confidence,,,,,,that goes a long way in hot rodding,,,,,,if we can try and succeed .
Then,,,,,we can show someone else it isn’t impossible.

Great job Lloyd !
I have complete confidence in you man,,,,keep it up .

Gave in to the peer pressure….

 

Tommy i couldn't even spell musheenist yesterday.... and today i are one!!

 

LoL,,,,,you tickle me man,,,,keep up the good work !

Lmao!!!!! That's so awesome you know better but, if i can't locate the bracket to move my alternator to the driver's side in conjunction with the short water pump, I'm gonna have to run a long pump, and a different setup on the front of the crank. So.... it's drilled and tapped. BUT, if i locate said bracket, nothing says i have to put a bolt in the crankshaft

 

I’m going to go take the crank bolt out of something just to be different.

Damn propaganda….

 

This shit is more fun than when the pigs ate my sister

 

I beat it like it owes me money !

 

It does owe me money!!! After 3 marriages it has cost me a fortune!!!!

 

Uh, i mean the old car, traditional hot rod. You know....

 

This tap is meant to be used in a rigid machine, not by hand. And it's coarse thread.


I'd drill and tap the crank if it were out, and if I could do it in a lathe. Even with a drill guide, that hole isn't going to be dead straight. It'll work, but it'd bug me that it wasn't exactly square.

 

God damn man! I found one that likes me on the second try.

 

Old cars and young women

 

I'm so proud of you Lloyd.

 

Hey Lloyd that's what I did , old cars and a young wife. She is 21 years younger than me

 

^^^^^ Careful guys.

 

That's exactly what I did back in high school on my 283. Mine slid on almost TOO easy, so I threw on a couple tack welds...good to go

 

It'll also work in a tap handle..... Trust me!!!!!...... Your right, it's a coarse thread tap.. I couldn't find a picture of the 7/16-20... My bad!....

 

I totally agree, Tommy. I was just bustin' his ball's a little.

 

You have just became my hero

 

Man if you play with Ford stuff there is no reason to have to finish drill and tapping stuff at home ! Just messin , you did a great job .

 

Does this mean you might make Tri Fives?
