Projects a basket case worth saving

Yes

 

a few pics

It's either a fresh built Mooneyham blower in the box or a bunch of bricks, we will see.

 

Well, the box did NOT have a bunch of bricks in it.

 

Santa came early to your house.

 

Wow, first it's two Willys, now it's two blown Hemis? Dang dude your killing it! That's another bad ass photo shoot with those side by side....

 

I guess I'm a hoarder now.

 

Yes, but in a Great way! Gary

 

Naw, that's not even close to a hoard, "small collection" sounds better!

 

I found this cool dude to make me a few blower scoop covers and stacked injection cover.

 

Damn! I'm digging that blue flake upholstery!

And even better, he's in driving distance of me! I didn't realize (or remember) you were in LA. Going to the roadster show this weekend? A couple of bud's and I are headed up Friday.

After installing my motor, I realized that my transmission wasn't shifting, it looks like my pump has one heck of a deep wear groove.

 

Bummer! But you will overcome! Gary

 

Hey drumyn29, the converter is pushing in on the gear, Id check the flywheel, seen this lots ..
If you where closer, Id give you a new stator ..

 

being a native Mainiac.... Portsmouth is down in NH...

 

Sorta. Portsmouth is in NH, but the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is in Kittery, ME. Go figure.

 

Looks like the torque converter wasn't fully seated on the tangs of the pump gear and then the trans was forced against the block. The torque converter should always be free spinning with the engine bolted to the trans. I believe there is 1/8" of gap before bolting the tc to the flywheel. You may also have interference with the torque converter spacer/support bushing in the crank. Good luck.

 

Today I called and spoke with Mike at http://www.mikestransmission.com
He's building me a new pump on Monday.

I didn't notice before I installed the convertor. There was a small worn piece of metal on the hub of the convertor, when I bolted it to the flywheel, the peice of metal blocked the hub from going in the crankshaft hole, at least thats what it looks like.

 

It's getting close to being ready to go down the track

 

I bought a few magnesium parts this weekend to dress up the newer Hemi. I also bought a Mickey Thompson magnesium intake but I think I'm to lazy to take the Crager off and switch it.

 

2 x blown Hemis is just greedy. I'm jealous

 

Well, I swapped out the transmission pump and viola!

 

I have a 2 bbl 283 motor in it until I get the bugs worked out and then it's off to the races!!!!!!

I can't wait to take it around the block tomorrow, and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day

 

There goes the neighborhood!

 

YEAH!
