Engine dowel pin
I bought a good 5.3 a while back and noticed its missing an engine to transmission dowel pin, ya know theres 2 that locate and center the transmission to the engine, does anyone have a spare floating around they wouldnt mind selling me?

I just got back from my parents house for dinner... My dad gave me a piece of .625 solid brass... I mean since theres no real load on this pin other than to line up the engine and transmission I feel it will be ok.. Ill cut it to fit, and chamfer both ends so there is no sharp edges.. then ill warm up the hole with a propane torch on low and toss the dowel in the freezer and hopefully it should slide it with some light tapping..
