Well... I looked also at the 1951 Jaguar service manual I've got... and I figure Volvo bolts are better then Jag bolts. Jag calls for 66 1/2 ft/lbs. I went with 60. Didn't even come close to breaking bolts...so I reckon I'm OK. if it breaks...well...so be it. I'm getting sick of all these metric bolts anyhow.
I also got the clutch and tranny bolted to the engine. I'll see about getting the starter on there tomorrow or Thursday. Then Friday I see if I can do the "big swap". Gonna go for engine, transmission, rear end, drive shaft...all at once. And do the auto->M41 conversion at the same time. Of course, I won't be able to completely button it up, but I'm fixin' to drive it on or before Sunday. We'll see....
Hopefully the weather will go to hell and I'll have an excuse to blow it off 'till March.
