I guess too late but

6801-10-10 | 5/8" JIC Male x #10 SAE/ORB Male 90°

But since I work at Parker these days I can source pretty much anything internally and have a bit of an advantage.

Cheaper to score them from a Hydraulics Shop instead of in a plastic pocket from a Parts Store or On line. Hydraulically, they come in bins, with names like Parker-Hannifin stamped in them.

See above. I didn’t look online, gave up and splurged with the Holley fitting.

Over and done now lol. But done and it will work.

For God's sake man!! How are you ever going to get Anything done, working in such a cramped environment.
Step one should be to find a place with some room in it!!!!~

Stop over, get my wife drunked up and convince her that I need an 18x28 add on. I’ll buy the booze if you can pull it off.

FWIW, I have to think ahead all the time.

Done deed but there is always the heavy truck and equipment dealers for future consideration.

I made this bracket to set the engine at normal install height so I can keep working on it while the trans and converter are out for upgrading. The bolt holes on the rear of the oil pan have turned out to be handy.

The converter is going to Texas and the trans to Homer…….Homer,NY that is

Thanks. Made from scraps laying around. I can’t pull the trans with it hooked up because I have to drop the rear of the engine to get to slide off, but ….. 565 mentioned that he made a device of some sort to mount to the bell housing bolts to do the same thing. It got me to thinkin’ :-/
