Project for Week 2008 11 08
This weekends project Remove the
engine and transmission
|
|
I enlisted the efforts of all the members of
Rochester Street Rods and Finger Lakes Classic Chevrolet clubs and
had great turn out.. We had Len Ball, Jerry Croston, Tom Deyle, Norm
Kinney, Ray Schmitt, Vince Falco, Bill Cleary.
All are welcome Saturday mornings 9 to when ever.
This is how the car looked before we started
this weekend. |
|
 |
|
Power steering and master are gone. The plan
is to replace it with a manual brake master. I need to do some
research on this.
|
|
This was the exhaust system I put on at the
beginning of the year. It looks nice but does not work well. The
pipes are to long and raw gas builds up in them when you decelerate
and you get back fires. Time to rethink this (gone). |

Lenny became our interior expert and remove
the driver's seat. Hey Lenny are you up for removing the dash next
weekend? |
|
Here is Lenny saying, no,no, don't do that,
here let me show you the way. |
 |
 |
|
Well I guess Lenny was right the engine is
out, lets all watch the oil and water drain out! Who is the fat guy
in the orange shirt anyway? Does he ever do anything or does he just
stand around all the time? |
 |
 |
 |
Well look at that that guy in the orange is
finally doing something. He forgot to get bolts long enough to bolt
the engine to the engine stand so he is cutting threaded rod up to
do that. The whole point of this weekend,s project was to remove the
engine and bolt it to the stand. I think we should fire this guy! |
 |
A good time was had by all. See you next week.
I think we will be removing the gas tank, positioning the fuel cell
and battery box in the trunk.. |
|
I think I need to hire a maid to clean up
after us, well I guess I have to do it this time. |
 |
 |
|
All cleaned up |
 |
 |
 |
The transmission will be sent out to have a
transmission brake installed, a new front seal as the old one was
leaking and a general look over. It already has a shift kit
installed which work just fine. Shifts were right a 5,500 RPM. |
 |
Well the important thing is done the Wife's
car is back in the garage, and yes it is a Hemi.
