Eagle_Adam Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 So the old locked up trans is off to the JY And I'm left with an auto tranny the micro dropped off for me, thanx again micro! Cleaned out the bell housing hoping it will help the torque converter sit in the right spot this time around 3 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 My brothers did the same type of thing when they were putting a engine in a 69 mustang when i was in high school,, didn't get convertor all the way into tranny and cranked down the bolts ,,,,,,, sha-poopy. 3 Quote Link to comment

Eagle_Adam Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 You know what's funny? I've done this several times and always got lucky apparently ..... And yet, now I've seen a converter installed 3 different times on tv/YouTube and I can totally see the person installing it make several movements to install the converter.... Oh well, live and learn. 2 Quote Link to comment

Bory Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Try the home made CC KILLER get a big piece of painters plastic the thicker kind, lay it flat, drive or push your project onto it, and wrap it like a burrito, tape it all up tight, make a small window flap in it, stick one or two foggers in there fire em up and tape that window up, come back after a few beers and every thing alive in that rig will be laying dead on the floor of that plastic! 3 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 And while the king cab panels are out..... I'm gunna toss some of the left over FatMat from my dads mustang into his 620 while it's easy 3 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 And this is up for grabs if someone wants it.... I believe it's a quick disconnect for the driveline/rear end. I think it's for regular towing?? I dunno but I want it gone to a better home The engage/disengage pullknob?? The rest?? 3 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 That could be a good option for someone who does a lot of towing... wayno perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Better off with someone who might use it cus I know my dad will never touch it 1 Quote Link to comment

S30Jay Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I love that the dishwasher is your parts washer. What's even better is that there were dishes with the parts. That shit would never fly here!! 1 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Wifey doesn't mind when I do that. But if I get a speck of grease on a good towel..holy shits! Not allowed. 5 Quote Link to comment
