**73 Scamp Mini Pro-Street Engine Swap**

All the parts are here so I started assembly this morning. I worked on it for about 1 hour familiarizing myself with the kit and the other parts that I ordered.

First thing I did was assemble the 24 spring return assembly and got it installed. The tool I made works great. It all went together very easily. Hardest part was making sure all 24 springs were in their pocket before I started.

I got the front clutch pack loaded with 5 Clutches. I need to have the Pressure plate shaved down right at .075", The Rear Clutch went together really smooth and is within spec .035" , After the front Pressure Plate gets shaved down I will soak the clutches in Type F Fluid for about 30 minutes and put both clutch packs back together.

I also rebuilt the pump assembly with the new Hardened pump gears from TCS. It went together smooth and I replaced the washer and the Ring Seals then lubed it all up except the New outer seal. I will do that right before I assemble it. I did make sure to put the converter in it and spin the pump around so I do know it is aligned correctly.

The front drum pressure plate clearance is telling me I need to shave it .075" . I am going to double check the steels and make sure I did not use the THICK ones. Also the Pressure plate is brand new so I will be checking the thickness vs the stock one. Who knows it came in a Mopar Performance bag. Maybe they increased the thickness over the years for some reason or another?? Also the front drum came with only 3 Frictions and I am using 5 of the thin ones instead at .061"
