So, I now have a nice newly cut 263 manual crankshaft and a 263 Dynaflow crankshaft. Except for some lost time and about $600 invested in the 263 manual crankshaft (shipping, machining, etc.) I'm ready to move on and get it installed. I figure they will make nice garden ornaments.
Hang on to that 263 manual crankshaft. They are getting hard to come by. Since all the machine work is done maybe someone will want to relieve you of it, either here in the US or across one of the ponds.
