I ordered the atlas a week or so ago, and got some bad news yesterday. Atlas goofed on the price, but said they would ship it in a week or so as someone backed out on their order. So hopefully it will be in soon and White's can get it in and get the d-shafts made when he gets the 60/70 under it. This will be a big relief to get this stuff done so soon.
I updated the cost tracker again, I think I am just about finished with the major cost items other than the hydro steering. I am gonna have a shiite load of work when I get home.
wow, looks like its comming along pretty good,
have you seen the new 54" boggers?
Thanks, I just have to get it all put together now.
No, I haven't seen the fittyfows. I would think that would take rocks to run those, I just dont see how a 60 could stand up to em for long. Maybe on another build way down the road....
Well, this finaly made it on the trailer with the truck and got dropped off yesterday at the mechanic.

Now he can get the axles under it, mount the transfer case, and get the d-shafts built
OH, btw, thats g-ma in her mowin shorts
You gonna wheel this or the jeep in clayton? Who's doing the work?
Both, my brother should be makin the trip with me, and if he cant make it I will just let somebody drive one. I would like to get a little seat time in both while home.
Quentin White, he's in Barclay Tx. He does all our familys mechanic work now. Real good, thorough, and will give you a break if you can drop somethin off and let him get to it when he has time. Will tell you real quick if he doesn't know about something, he doesn't like to just change parts till the problem is fixed.

I don't know yet, I have to get intouch with him. He has had the axles for over a month now, and if he has them finished then it wont be long I am sure. Hopefully by the 1st of December (this is when I get in from the sandbox). I may try to slip into 47 when I get home to get a feel for both vehicles before clayton. Hopefully it all gets done, but we will see.
Im his lil buddy and i have no rig so HA!!!!!
Yeah, Rowdy did call dibs a while back, just not for sure where. ***
He's like my gilligan, now I just need to find us a Ginger and Mary Anne!
nice, 4 speed?
yeppers, with the 10.3 low, with this and the pane, should take some of the "pull the seat outa your a$$ with a pair of pliers after skinny pedaling up hills at alto while night wheelin" feelin. :gigem:

yeah, but atleast you weren't downhill like sharpe was. Did I mention it needed a brake job pretty bad? ;)
I was prepared to make evasive maneuvers.
exactly, had i been downhill, the "pull the seat outa your a$$ with a pair of pliers" feeling would be understandable for that very sort of reason.:flipoff2:

maybe if you were talkin aircraft carrier manuvers:flipoff:
We all learned stuff that night.
Pigpen needs more HP
da beast needs pane
LT1 scouts driver needs not be a puss and get some scratches in the paint already:flipoff3:
your carb didnt balk did it? i thought it did pretty well. the electric fan on the other hand...
every time it got a little steep it starts to cut out causing me to have to give it more skinny pedal than what is needed. it does fine with some rpm's, but blows at or around idle
Hey it looks like the beast will getting a cage pretty soon too.
;)

Well, I decided the other day to stick with the 4.56's in the 60/70. I went back and did a bunch of the math again and cant see where anything lower than that would benefit me with the low/low option. I am told the axles should be set up and ready in the next week. Then its just slap em in, get the steering hooked up, and mount the tc so the measurements for the driveshafts can be made.
I am now in the hunt for a hydro clutch for it. I have access to a bell housing out of a 94 I believe he said, and it is supposed to fit the 465. What is the best route to go on this? I wouldnt think a slave from the parts house would be too much, and the linkage couldnt be too hard to manufacture. It has to beat the existing setup.
I made my own mount to hold the slave cylinder because I couldn't find a hydro bell housing. It's still on the blazer and has never given me any troubles. For the pedals it's best to find a hydro pedal set, but you can modify your existing set.
I have a hydro bell housing and a pedal set that will eventually be used for the buggy, but if you need to take some measurements you're welcome too.
When I get back to town, I will sure come by and do that. Does that take a different clutch fork or anything?
Which one? I'm pretty sure I used the linkage clutch fork on the slave mount I made.Quote:

Ed I dont think that bellhousing will work because in 94 they were using NV4500's and they have different bellhousings than SM465's.
I will have to do some more checkin on all of this. I do not know what for sure the mechanic has, so this may have to wait till i get home and can dive into it then.
I know that this subject has already been covered in this thread also, but I am gettin lazy tonite and dont want to look it up. I will check it out after I get back from the gym. I don't think this is going to be too hard once I get all the parts together to do it.
Novak has this adapter. This is close to what is needed correct? I know the master would have to be installed along with the hose and conections from the pedal to the master.
Anyone have a preference on clutch suppliers other than the junkyards....
i've heard that centerforce and luk are good. next clutch i buy will probably be a centerforce.
ok, sounds good, I kept thinking of the purple trq conv and it was throwin me off.
If you have an 11" clutch, can you fit a 12" on the same flywheel???
Luk makes the standard centerforce clutches from what I understand. If you look at a centerforce it says Luk on it.Quote:
