found one

[SAC715]

I've had a few 205's apart and I still can't figure out where that Pabst part fits in??? Is that for all the extra needles that are left if you have too many. (Beers that is).

lubrication for the mind...

i'll just have to have a few when i put it back together everything goes back the same way

got everything cleaned up and put all the hard parts back in. should have seals/gaskets on monday or tuesday.



on to pictures





the dodge case that happily donated its 32 spline front output to the cause. now my case is 32 spline input/output/output. probably not neccesary, but it was free so why not. also snagged a 1410 rear yoke off the dodge case


all ready for seals/gaskets



i did a little massaging to the shift rails in hopes of having nice easy shifting.

i have some friends coming out from iowa for the weekend of my birthday so i got a free ride for my 454 shortblock. now i have to buy heads/cam/intake/etc. that will take a while to collect. hopefully the new plugs i ordered for the other M715 i am trying to get running will fix the problem(the old ones looked like dog poo). so i can get paid for that and put it towards engine parts

my AA spacer for the t-case should also arrive on monday so i can bolt it all in and cross my fingers that the underbelly structure clears the case with it further back than it was mocked up for

finally a little work done on the old green turd

t-case installed


when i was prepared for a lomax


the first draft fit fine, but with the stock case and AA spacer, it just looked like it was wrong. kind of like it was designed for a different case or something

current


tried to make my brain come up with something cool, but this is all i could get. the space to work in was all wrong for cool stuff. i had 1000 ideas that would have been neater, but i would still be there working on it if i had done any of them



different view

I wish my "not cool" fab work looked that cool. Keep it up!!!!!

Looks great!

this was more work for the crusty chev i bought, but its all for the kaiser in the end

this is what i left yesterday.


earlier today


engine is gone


found it


in the kaiser


very tight everywhere. i am glad i took the time to fit the firewall and everything very close when i built the crossmember. the engine is as far back as possible without major surgery, and it looks right at home there.







eventually this engine will get yanked and rebuilt/rodded. but for now it runs and that is good for the time being. it stinks that i don't have the money to do it now so it could go in all pretty and painted like all the rest of the driveline but oh well

dissasembly done



dead chevy parts are everywhere






set the core support back on the truck to see how bad the fan hit radiator. surprisingly it didn't, but it is very close. will be easy to make it work
