69 Z/28 Day II Project (Air Force Brat)

[NorCam]

Carrying on here as best I can this past week while trying to keep the family happy as well. That meant building a hockey rink and hanging up shooting tarps for my son to practice his scoring drills. Great weather for flooding the ice as it hit -15 here over the past 5-6 days. So what else have I got done you ask?

Remounted the Victor Junior intake, checked parallel and concentric run-out of the bell housing, and adjusted the dowl pins where the bell now has .004 parallel and .002 concentric run-out which I am very happy with. A new billet flywheel is mounted, Powergrip HD clutch is installed, I added a Moroso roller pinion bearing, installed the old McLeod bell housing, and mounted the new M23 transmission onto the back of it. I'll get the new shifter mounted up and adjusted and then it's ready to go into the car in the coming days. That's all for now.


Time to remount the intake again.


Victor Junior is back in place until another DZ motor is built later this year.


New Ram billet flywheel is torqued down in place.


Chose to try out a roller pilot bearing on this installation.


Continuing with the use of a Ram HD Powergrip clutch.


Time to break the M23 out of the box. Love this trans.


This one has the 346 gearing with Italian made gears.


Ready for the shifter to be mounted up and adjusted prior to installation.


First time I've mounted a transmission to a motor while using this run stand.
