just my two cents.....
i have a mccloud bell housing for the XB3 302. the hole in the engine plate for the starter had a 1/4 moon spacer welded in for tremec trans use. the plate was not flat/flush to the plate which would not allow the starter to flush to the plate, but worse than that, the hole was not large enough for the starter to even fit. after some grinding with a drum grinder i finially got the starter to fit the hole...and alas...neither starter bolt hole was aligned. had straighten / flush to reweld the 1/4 moon plate, redrill the plate for the upper starter bolt, reweld the lower starter bolt tab so it would align. spent almost a day screwing with this mess. TECH LINE? what tech line? they never answered the phone, only a recording. there are other problems that are too lengthy to discuss....bottom line,,
i won't ever buy from mccloud again.
