Motor and Trans coming out...................... - 07/20/09 08:44 PM
Almost ready to pull the motor and trans out of the 65'
I bought a CRT trans last year, ,,and it's been sitting in the garage, ,,waiting to be installed. Doing it now,,,to have the car ready for Norwalk and Monster Mopar in Sept...
The current trans has not been out of the car/freshend in at least 5 years ??...
Had the convertor done with TA last year....
Had the front end, K frame, tubular work done last month with BondoBob,,,so hoping it will be easy just to pull the trans and motor together,,,and re-install,,,,have lots more room as far as pan clearance now....previously i could never pull them together due to the tight clearance with the K frame....
Is there a specific lock tite "color" stength to use on the convertor bolts when i re-install ??
Also wondering if the car will "pick up" any with a fresh CRT tranny ?
Man did my plugs look a bit rough,,,hadnt changed them since last year,,,they were a bit tough to remove from the Eddy heads,,,( i usually put anti-sieze on them ),,,,
Also going to re-do the Caltrac's,,,i ordered a new bushing kit,,,,the front eye(s) on mine are not right,,,wrong spacer in there now,,,with lots of binding ,,, so i ordered the correct size spacer,,to free things up..current 60' are 1.41-1.43,,,, maybe this will improve as well with the Caltrac changes....
572 INDY motor coming next year,,,,hope to run the NSS class someday..............
Have everything unhooked,,,,just have to drain the tranny fluid,,,drop the cross member,,,,and pull the motor and trans....
