Make sure the harmonic is tight. I have seen some that are not bad but loose.

I was looking for the tricycle

Ed don't forget the other engine in the '54 has a new clutch on it if you need to swap it out when the trans is out.

Check to make sure the throttle return spring is the correct one. On my last truck it was way too stiff and I couldn't go over 2,000 rpm. After turning up the fuel, and looking into the governor settings. We changed it out and it solved the problem.

I saw the carnage of the block and rod. FMJ is going to send the remaining bolts out to be analyzed. He is away on business for the week. The rod bolt looked like it failed. There seemed to be an old break in the rod bolt (a dirty section) and the remaining clean part of the break. It...
