My son’s, Aaron and Gary lifted the trans and helped me bolt up the Muncie 4-speed to the bell-housing. Then we carefully lowered the engine and trans into the chassis – no scratches! All the nuts, bolts, washers and screws are from Totally Stainless – a great company with quick shipping. They carry lots of thread sizes used on early cars, like on my 1932 Ford coupe. Some come polished, and those that didn’t, I polished everything. I always measure what needs to be bolted up and cut the bolt to length, allowing for a Nyloc and washer – I don’t like a lot of threads sticking out. I give the cut end some filing and sanding and then polish the threaded end that shows too.
