Two questions:
1. how do you time a sbc conversion when the timing marks are hidden? 2. what's the verdict on cutting an access in the firewall to get access to the water pump and timing marks? Thanks. |

I marked the clutch pressure plate at the top so it aligned with the center of the 901 trans case. With the small indent in the trans at that location, and because I cut some of the rear firewall away to clear the distributor, I can get a timing light in there from the trunk. No additional marks so you need a light that you can dial in the advance for.
I like DickSteinkamp's idea and may need to do that when I swap the 901 for the 01E. |

I think your solution is the most elegant but since I did not have to cut the front panel of the rear trunk to fit the dizzy (and didn't want to), it didn't work for me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-20876-1572558482.1.jpg) It would have been great if that notch in the trans case was on the bottom.
