I agree with Roadracer_Al on most everything other than you should inspect the South Bend in person. There's even odds that it may not need any rebuilding and may not need much in the way of parts, which are almost all easily available.
Now Roadracer_Al, How come I haven't seen any photos of your 1986 Victor 1640? I have one that's about 12 to 14 years older and would love to see yours. I really wish one of us had the no-longer-available taper attachment so it could be reverse engineered and made. I'm missing the spindle taper sleeve on mine, so beg you to measure it up for me and send me or post the dimensions.
Thanks!
Ken
