Re: Morgans 68 Charger. Engine #3...
Another day. Bananarama! she fought me every step. If something could get snagged/caught etc it did.
My main thought for the day is "I HATE HEADERS" - they are in the damn way of absolutely EVERYTHING !!! I even had to pop a torsion bar out to get to an engine mount bolt. Fortunately I am brilliant at this now - its like 10 mins but still. ARRGGHH! !!
But... the good news is... tada !

Well done.
By way of consolation, it takes me 9 hours to get the Hemi out of the Challenger by myself - YOU hate Headers???

Still hate headers. But 9hrs is better than me. Took me a couple of days solid. Not finished yet !
Anyway. Todays pic. I call it "You can never have enough 440s".

The closer you are to death the more alive you are
Re: Morgans 68 Charger. Engine #3...
Right. As usual what take you lot a couple of hours takes me days but essentially we are apart as far as we are going.
This weeks learning is "Goddam. Pitman arms are tight arent they ? "
Anyway. We are there. The bits that need refurb/reseal are underway and some parts are coming. Should start assembly in a couple of weeks. Which gives me time to fit the line lock and bias valve. I like making pipes That bits easy.
Onward !! Thanks to all who helped this week...

I was thinking a nice 2.0litre diesel would give me plenty of header clearance ...

That is a very clean workspace you have there Morgan, and I never thought of using wheel skates as engine trollies. Genius.

Re: Morgans 68 Charger. Engine #3...
Right. Onward. Been on hols but back now.
So the steering box arrived back today from rebuild. It will go in tomorrow. (pics to follow).
I have amused myself with childish stuff. (I know, I know...)
Anyway - Bit of wiring and tubing fun. As is my want I like this stuff hidden away. I have made a panel which lives in the front of the centre console. Its ideal on a charger as the console is sprung open. There is a circuit isolator latching switch (green) which has to be on before the Red momentary switch can be used. Works quite nicely...
Anyway , back to real stuff tomorrow.
