Now that would be one heck of a nice birthday present to give yourself!!!! Looks like everything should work this time, though sometimes the clutch linkage can be a bit problematic if you have many clearance issues....

Well, it's back in the truck. Working on the motor mount position and the clutch actuator."The biggest worry is that my wife (when I am dead) will sell my HotRod and parts for what I said I paid for it."

TomWithTruck.JPGManCave.JPGPaintedExt.JPGWeldedExt.JPGWishing everyone a great Thanksgiving! Here's pix of the rear trans mount. Wanted to move the tail end a little over to the passenger side to give my exhaust header just a little more clearance away from the steering box. Had to dimple the exhaust manifold when I originally installed the engine to clear the box, but now, I can just make the mount adjustment. A picture also of my garage I had built 2 years ago for my truck and the Mustang. Makes a great "getaway" when you need that time alone! The Mustang is back in the house garage for now....the truck needs to be set that way to get clearance for the engine pull. Next week, back to work on the truck. Tomorrow, at work at 5:00 a.m. for black friday. Cheers!

Hi Dave,
I'm in Florida....40 miles southwest of Orlando, off Hwy 27. The garage is built in the backyard and we have a little "alleyway" behind the house the city uses to pick-up trash and garbage. Makes a neat little road to come in the back side to get to the garage! Turkey and Ham are done...dressing is cooking...rolls are last...heading for the shower right now! See ya' later, you'all! Tom

Went under the truck before turkey...doesn't look like the clutch linkage is going to be any big deal....a spacer maybe, but that's it. Anyone know how much the throwout bearing has to deflect the pressure plate fingers for the clutch disc to be 100% disengaged? 1/8" or 1/4 or so? I cut a little window in the bellhousing to set up the rough adjustment but I was just wondering how much travel I will need to get a "good" clutch actuation."The biggest worry is that my wife (when I am dead) will sell my HotRod and parts for what I said I paid for it."

Got the clutch linkage hooked up...no sweat! The throw-out bearing is just close to the fingers so I can still turn the bearing face with my finger through the peephole window. Getting about 1/2" travel with the clutch depressed with my hand. Should be enough to work the clutch properly? I guess so. Taking driveshaft over to Lakeland tomorrow to get shortened by 5/8". Then hook up all the stuff and get this thing on the road again! (Good Waylon and Willie song!)
Weather is getting cool here in Fla tonight. Just perfect!"The biggest worry is that my wife (when I am dead) will sell my HotRod and parts for what I said I paid for it."
