Expert 5K+ Posts: 8953 Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | ok , thanks a million but i could use more info . how long is the adjuster rod . on the end that holds the adjuster is there a groove on the inside or is the tube still fastened to the ball on the other side . that will answer the groove question also . can you get the length of the tang on the other side , ( should be longer ) . the rod from the pedal could you possibly get that length also . before the snow hit today , i brought red inside and removed the entire left corner and grill to have a peek . by looking at both motors and how things are situated , i'm thinking i'm going to need to put the oem frame bracket back on the shelf and fab one to bring the frame side stud ball forward 1 1/2 - 2 ins. to line up with the new bell/motor . that's guessing with minor measurements and eyeball but 95% sure for the frame bracket . i'm hoping the fork i bought will be here tomorrow , so i'll have to back red out to have room to pull the trans off again with the picker and install the new fork . that should be the end of messin with that part of it . then i hope to proceed to old motor removal . if i'm seeing and thinking right , with the z-bar in place and everything operable , i should be able to retain my ballenger headers in place . at least that's what i'm hoping ------------------------------------------------later | ||

Expert Posts: 2120 Location: atlanta | 60 dart - 2014-02-03 12:38 AM ok , thanks a million but i could use more info . how long is the adjuster rod . on the end that holds the adjuster is there a groove on the inside or is the tube still fastened to the ball on the other side . that will answer the groove question The ajjuster to the fork? 3 1/2 The insde of the Zbar is attached, won't pull loose, i assumed it would slide out like the bell side, but no, unless i'm not tuggin' hard enough. There is no grouve on the inside of the Zbar main tube, just some nylon halves that capture the ball end on the bell. also . can you get the length of the tang on the other side , ( should be longer ) . the rod from the pedal could you possibly get that length also . Very hard to get in there, looks like he rod from the pedal goes to the tang on the inside, but it looks like it's inside the frame sortta. if it helps, the rod is ten inches from the end where it attaches to the clutch pedal to where it enters the floor with the pedal all the way up in driving position. It's wet as hell on the carport and hard to get in there. Edited by fenix 2014-02-04 2:55 PM | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8953 Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | thanks buddy , all has been great help . when you measured the lever , did you measure from the tube for length or the total spline . i got the new fork installed but looks to me like i have the wrong fork pivot . it doesn't fit the seat in the fork by being too wide . also looks like the fork is settin too far rearward , maybe not allowing enough movement . the pivot is also off center bolt up . i think i need one centered . my z-bar is 9 1/2 long levers are 2 1/2 and 2 long peddle rod to z-bar is 15 1/4 long it might be of help to me to call brewers performance , tell em what bell i'm using and what direction i need to move in . but on the other hand , i like doin things the hard way --------------------------------------later | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8953 Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | new motor sittin in loose . now to line everything back up , getting the pinion angle close , fab a trans mount . one nice thing is it looks like no need for a shifter tunnel , only a hole for the shifter mechanism . i may transform the motor mounts to solid mounts using 3 grade 8 , 3/8's bolts . a good number of people recommend putting a 1/2" bolt thru the mount as a stop gap measure for a broken or weak mount even i done it over the years . sittin back just lookin at the mount 1 bolt just doesn't seem right . 1 bolt would seem to want to put flex on the 1 bolt side of the motor mount ears . 2 would probably stop the flex but i like over kill so i'm thinkin 3 but if one does 1 side , the other side would have to be done also . the opposite side would still move and put pressure on the first side . so 3 bolts each side , make sure the block side bolts are good and tight with lock washers . takin these motors out and back in by myself ,i was thinkin it's going to be tuff . i was amazed at the ease , not one cuss word------except for the headers !-----------------------------later | ||

Use 3 short bolts or you risk breaking the ears with a long bolt, I e don't! . . sittin back just lookin at the mount 1 bolt just doesn't seem right . 1 bolt would seem to want to put flex on the 1 bolt side of the motor mount ears . | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8953 Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | i messed around fabbing a trans mount using an old 64 chrysler mount . first thing i did was check the rear pinion angle . it's @4.5* , so i'm using that number for the front pinion angle . i'll going with the theory of , the angle can be 2 to 5* , but not less than 2 , with a difference between the 2 of no greater than .5* . so what i want is close as possible 4.5* at both front and rear . i also had to redrill the trans mount holes as it is for a 64-65 tailshaft , now it's a 69-70 tailshaft with a slip yoke . the z-bar i have is deffinately going to need work , shortened and longer levers . for the time being i think i'll fab up pedal rod just to see what i might need for length . i may even need to do some work on the lever at the pedal but don't know yet . the pistol grip shifter i was wanting to use , aint gettin it . it would have to set too far forward , neutral is just about at the dash . i do have the long laid back stick that came with the shifter kit and is bolted on now with shift room to spare . the shift levers are close to the tunnel side but after the trans is bolted solid , just a little tweek with a pry bar on the side of the tunnel will make that work . about the only tunnel fab i will have to do is fab a tower around the shifter with a boot square on top . i had a real pisser happen with the E T aluminum wheels i wanted to use . yesterday i put em on the car to get em outa the way and put the old ones in front of the garage doors outside and told the neighbor kid if he knew anyone that wanted them to just take em . well today while i was spreading salt out front on the ice he pulled up with his friends and i asked if he wanted em , to get em gone , so he took em . my next step was to put the rear of the car on jack stands . so i could get under to get the pinion degree of the rear . got it up , went to turn the rear wheel by hand , it barely moved , turned hard . so what the hell , it's rubbing the inner panel . not enough offset on the wheel . so then i had to go beg my old wheels back , got em back but still feel like a total ass or indian giver ----------------------------------------later Edited by 60 dart 2014-02-13 12:47 AM | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8953 Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | rear end pinion 4.5* , front pinion 4.2* . built a good trans mount ,,,,,,,,,, twice . on to the z-bar setup . fabbed a stud ball plate for the fender side , with stud ball , good . fabbed at stud ball plate for motor side , shortened the stud ball .5 in. . turned it down the snug press fit the receiver , temp peened the inside . shortened the z-bar @ 1 in. which removed the inside lever , ok . looked at it a second or 2 , pushed on the clutch fork back , it barely hits the torsion bar ................so 4.5 and 4.2* , although good , won't work . i'm thinkin a shim between the trans mount and trans of 3/8-1/2" will bring it up but will change the front pinion angle ,,,,,,,,, again , to around 2.5* . so that means the rear pinion angle needs to drop 2* and the only way to do it is with 2* axle wedges . very disappointing to say the least but the worst part is wasting time doing it all over again , at least it will be right . when i first went to the garage today , i started looking for the 2 nuts that hold the trans mount to the cross member , as last night i couldn't find them . now mind you , i'm only working in a 4x6' area under the car . they are the same nuts i took off . nowhere to be found . looked through every can and jar i have for replacements 5/6 x 20 , aint got nun . so i look under and around , under the car for the 20th. time , no where to be seen or found . discussded , i pick up my wonderful magnetic trouble light and the nuts and 1 missing washer were stuck to the magnet . i'm havin a fantabulus time -------------------------------later ps. it aint that dammed funny Edited by 60 dart 2014-02-18 1:01 AM | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8953 Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | come to find that the top gen. mount won't fit . it sits too high to fit the third mount bolt into the head . why , i think it's because the p600 intake i'm using to mock up isn't machined down to receive the gen. mount . so i'll get the intake i'm going with and check that one out . in the end , at least for now it's going to be a top mount gen . maybe if i can find , if i look , a later poly head that accepts an alt. mount . plans , build a top mount . the other thing , thanks to rodger reddish for taking the time to explain the short comings of using the top mount , is the fan pulley has to be a shorter one by @ 1 1/2" . so in building one , i'll just move the gen. back --------------------------------later | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8953 Location: WHEELING,WV.>>>HOME OF WWVA | yesterday i re-routed the old side pipes to accept the new spitfire headers . waiting on good gaskets to finish em up . the more i looked at the gen. mounting for a top position , the more it looked too high . maybe too high to take any chances of hitting the hood when closed and sucking down the insulation . soooo , here's the plan i'm going with and sticking with . what i'll do is copy the right side , front 5" of the ballenger headers gen. mount . doing that i can bolt that new section on top of the spitfire header's using the front 2 bolts and connect to the 3rd. far front bolt hole in the head . not such a big deal but time consuming cutting out all the parts needed to do the finished piece using a 6" wafer wheel . after that is fabbed up , it's just a matter of bolting the oem gen. bracket to it and the oem adjusting arm . copying the end of the ballengers also takes the guess work out of aligning pulleys . with this stroker motor and a front sway bar this car is going to seam like it's a totally different one . i may even install the new 6 leaf , 2" lift springs , i've had laying for 3 yrs. -------------------------later | ||

Chuck your not gonna piss me off . i understand frustration and dealing with engines . just been super busy. when i get a chance ill email you . is your garage heated ? i can come over and give you a diagnosis and we'll figure this out . this isn't about money its about getting your old girl running so quit fretting about money . so maybe in a few days i can get answers as to just what is wrong . if it weren't for the overheating problem everything else would fall into place . maybe removing the thermostat and a new larger radiator by volume will help . i'm hoping something good shakes out . -------------------------------------------------------later Edited by 60 dart 2014-11-16 2:49 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 3068 Location: N.W. Fla. | 60 dart - 2014-11-16 1:48 AM A bigger radiator may help if yours is too small. My understanding is running no thermostat can cause it to run too hot from lack of time in the radiator for the water to cool off, though that might not be a problem in the mountains in Winter.... maybe removing the thermostat and a new larger radiator by volume will help . | ||
