Well I got my 383 project home and the ear is busted off the back where the starter mounts.
I couldn't find the missing piece. It may have been broken for years. The bell housing does have a stud in it at that hole. I am going to try to repair it by most likely brazing a piece from another block on there.
Has anybody had to repair one of these?
Mine is busted thru the hole which I'm sure is fairly common.
If anybody has a junk block that they would be willing to lop the ear off of I would be interested in it.
I would rather salvage this original 65 block than replace it.
