ORIN'S 50 REBUILD !!!!
orin:
Well I hope he's kind enough to point it out to me! ;D
the old trucker:
Orin as you can plainly see Grfishmaker is suffering from lack of oxygen to his brain !!! Watch out fisherman or I'll tell everyone how I conned you in, hook, line & sinker about a month ago!!! That will show how smart you really are. Ha Ha Ha.
OT.

O.T.
no muffler, just a piece of flex pipe curled around and coming out the back. I measured the rad for you and its 20"s wide, 25.5"s high and 3"s thick. Also took a pic of the way the vacuum hose is pointing on the distributor. For my motor mounts I used 2, 3" wide channel irons that are 57"s long. I made the motor mount part of it myself and the tranny part I just used the cross member that was in the van I took the motor and trans out of. I mounted the motor and trans on the channels out side, slid the whole thing in, lined it up where I wanted it and bolted it down. http://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae141/orinleecarlson/009.jpg

Thanks Orin !! The distributor position is what I'm going to try & do with mine. A fellow member RETMECH from down here told me how to do it so I can keep the electronic ignition & stay away from points. Orin, think there is enough room to put a small muffler between the engine & belly pan ?? Your setup looks along the same lines that Swamp Dawg used on his. I thought a short oil filter would fit. Looks like you have enough room to install it.
I measured the width between the outsides of my motor mounts & it comes to 22 1/2" It looks like I may have a tight fit around the starter area. Ohh well.... must grab the camera & head back to my shed again. I cleaned up my manifold westerday & now I'm cleaning the engine with a wire brush mounted to my drill. I'll take a couple of pics & put them on tonight.
OT's having a productive day & loving it!! 8) :D ;D :) ::) :P
grfishmaker:
Orin, just curious as to how you have your shifter set up. Do you have a floor shifter or use the old shifter on the steering? If it's on the steering colunm, is it backwards (down for park, up for reverse, etc..) or is there some sort of linkage setup to make it like a normal vehicle?
