BTW, still haven't determined if the engine-to-bellhousing bolts are 1.25 or 1.00 pitch yet. I don't have a metric thread gauge. Another good excuse to by more tools!!
Sssh! They're not expensive if you just buy the thread gauge. They're a mean bear if you buy the 140 piece tap-n-die set that it comes with 8*)
BTW, Tom just brought my finished adapter plate by. He pointed out that he had been keeping the paper that showed the alloy of the aluminum I had bought for it. I took a close look at it for the first time and....WHAT?! 6013! What is that?! I ordered 6061 from McMasterCarr!
Well, it appears that someone at McMasterCarr is smarter than I am...or at least the fellows at Alcoa think they are:

I had never heard of 6013, so I thought some of you might be interested.
