Hopefully I will get her done next weekend, I will post pics of course. I am also hoping to find a replacement short tail 4spd to swap out sonce I will be pulling everything out. Does anyone local have a clutch alignment tool I could borrow?? I don't have one, and I will need it to put the assembly back together correcly. Thanks :D Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I am doing the tranny swap this weekend at Atom's house, I have found a 4spd. Thank you Atom! I will also be fixing that broken head bolt I almost forgot about and the rear seal. lol This will mean my engine and tranny are coming out together for the first time since I have had it. Are there any little things I should look out for?? Thanks guys. Pics to follow. :D Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Here are the pics of my tranny swap, headbolt replacement, and rear main seal change. :D Thanks to Atom for helping me through this!! The set up...Pulling the hood I have never taken the hood off before. We wanted all the help we could get...So we got a wise man. :lol: Marking the cam gear and pulling all of the parts off... Applying the specialty tool..:lol: Almost ready to pull... The steering tie rod did get in the way...but somhow we were able to pull the motor without taking it off. Finally out.... and now the work started She has never looked so empty.... Got the old tranny off without any trouble... Now to pull the flywheel and replace the main seal.. The old tranny was a mess! The bellhousing was full of oil. :eek: See next post..... Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Continued..... :D New tranny...my daughter said it looked like an alligator..:lol: So I painted it.. Now it looks like a smurf leg. :blink: I had to pull the switches from the old tranny to put on the new one. Had to fix that broken head bolt... Came out without any trouble. YAY! My clutch is in decent shape. :cool: I put the flywheel on then realized I forgot something...AAHH! So we improvised..Hahaha Just about ready to put her back in... This was the best part! Everything lined up. She runs like a champ now and and no more leaks! Quote Link to comment

Phlebmaster Posted November 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) Well, I got goooood news! I finally got my hands on a peanut head...the W58 is a closed chamber. YAY! :D Both L20Bs look like they are in decent shape and one of them even looks like it has been gone through recently. Here are pics of my loot. :cool: W58 head.... After a good cleaning.... Here are what the cylinders of the L20Bs look like.. Check out this alternator! I have got to figure out how to wire it in. (internal regulator) I cannot wait to get this monster rolling...as soon as I can I will transplant the BIG cam to the W58 then put everything together for the install.
