Well got the 68 in and my end play is damn near perfect.... .017"!!! Hallelujah!!!

 

How come its not in the truck yet?

 

Check ***** in valve body





Separator plate and gaskets in place with 1-2 accumulator and retainer plate thing





Valve body in and torqued!!!

At this point another hour or so and i am done... Have to replace manual shaft seal, filter seal, install filter, pan and extension housing and bellhousing!!! Now its a matter of getting my torque converter.... And cam..... and cats..... And v bands tig welded.... Not sure how my current cam will fair with a 3000 stall......

 

Didnt you say yours is still on a bench...... Wanna buy me a torque converter???

 

No, It's in a plastic container under the bench...

The warranty already expired, or at least the free re stall expired on my New Converter and I have since changed Directions. So now I need a different converter...

And I don't have time to work on it because I bought a theft recovery that I am putting back together...

 

Plastic containers dont magically put transmissions together

Changed directions, changed projects.... You change your mind more than a woman!!! cant say much oughtta see what ive got in my exhaust on this truck....

 

Whats stall on your converter, you arent gonna use??

 

No they don't, but they store things like that good with out worrying about corrosion, dirt/debris, or bugs

It's not that I change my mind, Its more like I don't finish what I start... There is a difference...

Not sure what I am going to do. I have to many Irons in the fire...

Good news is, I have parts in stock when I do get around to it...

 

I know all about the irons in the fire at one point i had a 95 2500 454/4l80/4.56, an 86 k5 with 383/4.56/700r4 and an atlas transfer case, an 80 z28 that i all but restored, an 85 s10 with 6" lift, and 84 sblazer with a small block and build th 400, an 89 s10 5spd v8 swap, an 86 monte carlo ss, and another lowered s10 auto v8 swap.... All at the same time.... For a while i had a thing for s10's, glad i got outta that phase!!! At one point i had an s10 in pieces all i needed was a frane and bed and i coulda out it together!!! I ended up getting tired of it all and had a fire sale/junkyard week, then bought my silverado!!!

My ex brother in law had that problem, hed buy something tear it apart have all these great ideas of what to do with it then find another project and do same thing at one point he had 30 sum odd vehicles he had as projects!!!!

 

Pump seal retainer in place





I decided to go ahead and throw the bell and tailshaft adaptor housings on....


On my way home my dumbass realized i completely spaced all of the little filter/screen things on the separator plate Boy do i feel stupid, got over anxious!!! Oh well gotta pull valve body back off..... Damnit!!!
