Comanche Chief - Aged to Perfection

[Doc.]

Sorry had to.

[DayriesW]

Finally worked up to this... BM-10/5 CPS (sensor) to NSG370 fitting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This part of the demo is brought to you by Pizza. I made a template and transferred over the bolt hole measurements.

 

 

 

 

 

After I drilled to two sensor mounts, I tapped them

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I used a bunch of different stuff to make the same hole on this case as the other. Measure twice then cut, sand and remeasure

 

 

 

 

 

 

I will get the new sensor tomorrow but here is how it looks now

Nice build....

Someone mentioned this swap the other day....

Moved the transmission into place behind the engine and couldn't bolted in place. Removed the old clutch and eventually the pilot bearing which for the 87 appeared to just be a smooth piece of metal.

Top to bottoms pilot bearings: new 05, the installed 87 and new 87.

I think I'll get the flywheel off the motor and maybe get it machined to fit with the 05 pilot bearing. I pressed the 05 one out of the sleeve it came installed in and it is .1" thinner then the old brass looking one.

 

I decided that this is about how to make the crossmember.

I build the back two frame mounts and welded them in.

New bushing up on the right side. Cheaper than the bearing that didn't fit.

 

 

 

 

 

After I removed the washer fluid tank, I was able to remove the old clutch reservoir since the new 6 speed master/slave comes preblead.

 

 

Old and new. The new one lacks a plunger so..?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new master is longer and has offset bolts so I'll be drilling the firewall after the plunger is figured out.

 

 

 

 

 

I need to remove the brake booster and all to route the new lines to the slave and it will make it easier to drill out the firewall. Plus I needed a reason to upgrade the brakes... Hopefully a dodge 2500 system will fit and will be enough to stop the larger setup.
