Golden Goddess heart surgery

Another day of no progress, I had my parents come over for dinner, I had to brake out the fine China for the fancy meal!

And I have come up with another question, my cam is a 3 bolt cam, are these bolts right for it? I know it says mopar v8 with 3 bolt cars, but are all cams the same thread?

Nice grub and I believe so.

On your headers, look up flowmaster ball flange kit. It replaces the header flange and reducer with a weld on ball flange. You end up with a gasket less two bolt connection that doesn’t leak

I would have bought headmans with the ball and socket flange, but 1 3/4 too small.

I’m interested to see how your headers fit with the clutch linkage and what kind of ground clearance you have.

It’s Friday and I have hookers at the door!

I thought they shipped them in a plain unmarked box? What will the neighbors think!

I know, I quickly had to drag them inside, and put them back in the dinning room. They’re nice hookers. (Being a car guy is great)

You're not just interested in seeing his balls and flanges?

Alright, the weather the looks good the next few days, so time to get back to work.

Still waiting on engine parts, but I have everything for the trans, so I’ll dive into that

That looks pretty clean for something that has been in the car awhile.

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

That’s because I cleaned it

What stall torque converter are you using?

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Size 10.5

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

It’s all clean and pretty inside

I’m trying to replace the tail house, the baffle rusted out, so it just pukes fluid out. I’ve watched countless videos, and read countless threads, it’s suppose to just pull right off. Mine doesn’t. I’ve shacked it, I’ve rattled it, I’ve rolled it, and nothing happens

Hey Cheap', FSM is your friend, Main shaft (Output shaft) and tail housing come off together. Once removed there's one of those pesky snap rings that retains the support bearing.
