No joy on the clutch, yet, eh?

Starter alignment is fairly coarse -- drifting the starter in on something like this should be do-able:

...so don't get bogged down with engaging the starter ring. Get close, and you can dial it in from there...

I'm hopeful that the Camaro flywheel will work for you!

Good to keep working, though -- sometimes when you hit a dead end, it makes sense to put one project down and pick up another. Keeping the forward momentum is key!

Dang, those are pretty sizeable shackle hangar holes! I suppose you will be able to float it into space and then weld the heck out of it, as it is just metal. If you elect to drill through at an angle like that, especially with a hole saw, I recommend clamping a chunk of 2x4 to the frame and then hole-sawing through that. You can force the hole any direction you want in the wood, but when it starts to bite into metal, the inside surface of the wood hole helps you keep the holesaw cutting in the path you want. Definitely takes some muscle, but it works ... for those of us who lack an elecromagnetic-foot portable drill press.

Nice work cycling the suspension... seems like many folks skip over this, but it definitely allows YOU to fine-tune YOUR suspension on YOUR truck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> FWIW, I like a little less shackle angle, and set mine up so that they swing just a bit foward at full droop.
