Where and what time?

Tom's in GG. He's ok with any time.

What's the earliest you can make it? 9 am ok?

You name the time, and we should be set.

Hi Tom,

Everything is mounted OK, you just missed one piece that is designed to "catch" the tranny if the mount fails. The stock mounts have two "raised" area's to catch a special steel "washer" << for lack of a better term.

If you drop the rear of the tranny any farther, you'll have shift linkage issues.

I'll be up this weekend also.

Tell me when and where.

I am over here at Tom's house having a good old time.

Two V8 teeners.

And one of em won't run unless we set the valves EXACTLY 3/4 turn past no clacking of the rockers.. WEIRD...!!!!!!

Had to set em three times to find the magic combination.

Now we have a tranny stuck in fourth gear...

Pulling the nose cone to see if we can UN-Lock it.

If you guys have any ideas on unlocking the trans...

PLEASE chime in...!!!!!!!!

Well, after a long day, we decided to yank the tranny out. I 'll be bringing it to Thomas tomorrow to have it checked out at the swapmeet in Riverside.

Brian, It was great having a chance to check out your v8 teener (nice!).

Thanks again, Clayton, for your help and input today.



Tom

Wow, 2 more super-cool 914'ers!

Thanks Clayton for the help!

Thanks Tom for the pizza and for letting us use your garage! Good to see you got that trans out ok. Hopefully it doesn't need too much work. Your car is gonna be awesome when it's done!

Was a fun afternoon hanging out with a couple of other gearheads. Very cool. Hope to see you again soon.

Thanks, Joe for the positive vibe. I have no doubt that thomas will get the box back together for me. Now only if I can find him a taller fith gear to pop in for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

In the mean time, here' s my attempt at making a GT engine lid which I've always thought looks pretty trick . I was able to get a hold of an extra engine lid and grill from Mr. Bruce at the riverside flesh roast and swapmeet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Attached ImageTom,

That's great! What was determined to be the cause of the lock up?

Here's a picture of the water temperature gauge I'm using in my V8 conversion, that we talked about at the roastmeet. It matches the rest of the instruments. . . .

Thanks,

Tom,
Looks like your doing a fine job, how many cars start with a 4 cyl-air cooled engine then a rotary-turbo and then a Chevy V8? Well not many! We have something in common, I sold my 93 Rx7 rotary twin turbo to fund my V8, 914. The reason was I didn't like the power delivery aspect's of the Rx7, no torque and too much heat from the turbos bla bla bla. Looks great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That gauge looks really nice and definately matches the other gauges. I'm still thinking about getting the quad gauge from north hollywood speedometer. I just heard it's a little costly.

quad gauge

Thomas found out that a selector rod was not seated incorrectly which he offered to put back for me, but I just opted to have him rebuild the whole tranny for me since the second gear was shot. He did a great job by the way.

Hey Tom, looks like you're making a lot of progress, the car is all primered already?!? When do you think you'll get the paint done?

Is it driveable yet?

I did a quick primer job on the car just to clean it up a bit. It still needs alot of fine tuning and work, but I plan on taking her to my brother in-law's body shop for the whole stripdown, prep, and paint (black) some time in the near future.

I test drove the car today!, finally after 3 years of off and on work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rocking nana.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I must give thanks to many of the guys on this club forum for the help and advise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smiley_notworthy.gif)

Here are some videos of the test run: (still have to prime the bumper). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(youtube takes a while to process)

test run 1

test run 2

I made a custom open valve cover to perform a valve adjustment with motor running.

It worked great combined with valve adjustment clips. NO MESS!
