I have decided to re-build the Hawk engine. I pulled it down and didn't find
excessive end play in the crank. I did find a lot of slop in the fiber
timing gear. I replaced it last time and think I should have used an
Aluminum one instead. Any thoughts on the difference? I also need to have
a neoprene seal put in the front cover, does Ted still do that and where
should I send it? The oil seems to have been coming from the fuel pump and
front seal. It also was "wicking" out from the pan gasket, gasket was tight
but....
The pressure relief valve also was leaking, I assume all these can be fixed.
I have heard that no one makes a Neoprene pan gasket, is that correct? I am
also going to be putting a 700R4 tranny in so I will be in the market for a
conversion plate. Any one know where I can get one?

The aluminum gear may be a little noiser but you probably wont notice it.
Phil Harris has taken over Ted's parts business
for the neoprene seal

For their Gm Auto tranny adapter. Their webpage seems to be done this
morning.

The pressure relief valve should have a copper gasket. Yours maybe the
original and crushed beyond where it will seal.

Don, I have an adapter with starter that I am planning on putting on ebay.
Would sell before ebay for $400 plus actual shipping and handling charges.
