Surfdog’s 71 240

SurfDog · 02-05-2020, 02:54 PM

This sweet 240 cam is off to Cali for a custom grind!!

In the mean time I’ll work on lightly porting but more importantly port matching my Webber intake manifold. (Fix core shift, clean up casting marks a bit and get the head and intake ports to line up a bit better.). It’s not totally necessary, but since we’re all apart anyhow... why not.

A stock diff can be pulled apart pretty easily, but the fat boy Quaife LSD won’t fit in or out with bearings pressed on, so we had to pull the side bearings in order to shim the drive spindle. (Sheesh!). What a PITA! (A bit of trial and error here)

Note (at the bottom of my quickly growing parts rack) all those pesky fasteners zinked up and sorted out!!! Yay!

That will also likely mean more shims left to right to tighten up the lash a bit. It is at 4/1000 now which is on the tight side of perfect. This will probably loosen it up a bit which means I have to chase down some more shims. . It’s a bit of a chase your tail type excercise.

The cheap spool is just stock welded up. So I’m hoping will drop straight back in with little lash fiddling.

PLUG AND PLAY! (That never works out)

I was thinking .0001" to .00015", no more than .0002". Chasing your tail is right. Make one move on the pinion, end up making 10 moves on the ring.

It’s in too. Just on the other side of this but good. You’re always trying to average right down the middle.

Seats are in!

Tearing down steering rack today for sandblast strip, repaint, and repack.

Pretty straightforward though I’ve never done one before

I was covered in solvent all day so not many pix.

Building this 3.2 motor, I bought this e88 head to replace my e31.

Supposedly the e88 will flow better on the L28 stroker block. (According to the guy who’s helping me design my 3.2). They look IDENTICAL to me.

I hear the combustion chamber is better and the compression is better. I honestly can see any difference.

Once I clean them both up, I suspect they will be identical. I e heard the valve seats are different?? Who knows.

Stub axle refurbishment.

I could run CV axels which are stronger and lighter but these will probably suffice and CV conversion runs about 1100 bucks.

I’ll swap them in if these detonate

The main hangup has been trying to source just the right O rings for the slider bearing caps.

Also, long awaited replacements for my rusted our side rails have come in. They are MUCH nicer than the ones I ordered in a few weeks ago. (Strangely the price is still a question mark... long story). The floor plans will hopefully be in very soon. Then, body repair can begin!!

I think these classisfab panels are going to be great. (They are very well made and nicely designed. They should save me a ton of fitment work and time)

SurfDog · 03-03-2020, 07:08 PM

This is my fear about running the stub axle vrs CV. (I believe this one broke under load getting bounced over the apex berm.)

I've seen some CV's blown apart too.

I changed the front axles on my Power Wagon front u-joint to Indy style CV's. The axles came from RCV. $2,600 both front axles.
1st pic you can see the u-joint. The 2nd pic is the CV joint.
