John,
It would probably take a couple of days to make a spacer plate, then you'd have
to move the rear transmission mounts on the chassis rearward by the same amount
as well as shortening the driveshaft. It took me less than two minutes to cut a
half an inch off of the shaft. And then it bolted right up to the engine.
Regards,
Charlie

Steve
Have you considered some sort of spacer plate and longer bolts?

I didn't have a BN2 gearbox input shaft (the 100S gearbox internals are the
same as BN2) but I had a couple of 100/6 type.
Discovered that it was only the pilot bush spigot shaft that was longer and
simply cut about 1/2" (as I recall) off with a cut off wheel and all was good
to go.

I'm restoring a BN2? for a club member along with the BN1 that I'm doing for
myself. His project is a story in itself, but the latest challenge is getting
the transmission bolted to the engine. Normally it's an easy job, but in his
case, he's buying parts for different sources in order to make a complete car.
He had the front of his chassis cut off in preparation of installing a Corvette
V8. All those parts were scrapped before he was convinced to take it back to
original. That's when I stepped in.
He bought a four cylinder engine from Healey Surgeons and a side shift
transmission from a guy in California, the same guy that sold him the BN2
chassis. When I tried to install the transmission, the bell housing had a
different bolt pattern since it was for a six cylinder engine. He then got the
correct bell housing, but now the trans still won't bolt up because the first
motion shaft is too long (see attached sketch). The distance between the trans
and the engine is approximately 8 3/4" and the width of the bell housing is 8
5/16", a difference of 7/16". At this point, I'm tempted to cut off a half inch
off of the shaft.
Has anyone experience with this and can you recommend a better solution?
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie

Hi Steven, that hole is as it should be. It is the drain for the water pump

The grease will be leakage from the bearings which have most likely been over
greased.

Was there once a grease fitting there? Are all of them open like this? I'm
cleaning it to repaint and reinstall, but I'm a bit concerned and need the
wisdom of the list to relieve my tension.
Thanks in advance guys,
