Laecaon Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Pretty clean looking Goon. Oh I eventually found the plate between the motor and trans. I had tucked it away with other stuff... Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'll have to snag it from you sometime. This damn weather has the project delayed for a while :(. But the 620 is running, and soon I can tow the goon over to my garage and get crackin'. I NEED A 510 OIL PAN AND PICK-UP TUBE (right?)!!!! Cuz the L18 is coming out of a 620. If anyone haz one, shoot me a price. Quote Link to comment

crackerjack69 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I love it. I'm considering selling my 620 after Canby to finance the goon build. Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Found some time to start putting the goon together, making a list of things I need from Greasemonkey. Can't wait to drive this thing. I really wanted to buy those gold wheels at Canby to put on :D Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Lookin' good! Can't wait to see it on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Finally got around to pulling the L18 from my parts truck. Upon inspection, this thing is SUPER clean! FlyerDan (PO) mentioned it had been rebuilt and new clutch a while back, and not driven much since. The cam, head, and rockers are waaaay clean, and the clutch does indeed look very new. I R excited! Desperately need the weather seals for ALL the doors :( Would really hook someone up with some great vinyl work if you have some decent door seals for trade... Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 More pics,...! You get those rims on yet?. I bet that paint buffs out as good as mine or better.. :thumbup: Motor looks clean! Of course get that orange thing off the side it....So whats next? 1 Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah, the fram won't be there. Wheels will be on soon. Lolz Draynor volunteered you for a work party on my goon this weekend. Next step is to get the proper oil pan and trans xmember from Greasmonkey. I need to get the drivetrain all clean and ready to drop in. them haul the goon over on someone's trailer and drop tje train in that day. Then get crackin on re-assembling the interior, and doing the elecrical. Then driving it every single day :D 1 Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Got the timing cover I needed from wayno, thanks man! Old: New: Still waiting on 510 oil pan and pickup tube, and some gaskets before I can assemble the motor. Will I have any problem using a 620 exhaust mani? Like clearance issues when installed on a goon??? Any input appreciated. Quote Link to comment
H5WAGON Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 The old pic is a L20B cover...? Since you have the L18....you should have no issues with your exhaust. Post a pic of your manifold. Most issues come with throwing in a L20 then the Y-pipe rubs where the trans and the motor meet up. Across from the steering box. I'm still up for some work on this thing....I wants to see it.. :blush: 1 Quote Link to comment

crackerjack69 Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Well life happened once again, I ended up selling this brown goon to Karnutz last year. I have another goon lined up that I'm hoping will arrive today. It's a complete and bone stock original owner car. Been sitting about 20 years. Looks to be in good shape though. I'll just document the new goon build in this thread. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 That one for 700 bucks! I saw that, what a good deal that was. Did you move? 1 Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Indeed. 75k original miles, one owner (a grandma) factory dealer plate cover, full documentation. Beautiful wagon, I'm flipping out. Carb needs replaced, driver side rear wheel drum is stuck and tire flat, need hood hinges, hatch won't open, excellent interior, stock AM radio, fuse block clean as hell, dizzy cap looks new, last driven 1990. Perfect glass, one big and one small crack in dash, passenger front blinker lens a lil cracked, gonna try and get it running and stopping as qwick as possible :D. Yeah, I know I know: pics or die. Gotta go eat enchiladas first. Quote Link to comment
