1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
6/7/20:
After getting the clutch adjusted, I went on a 25 mile loop.
Everything was good, Trans is a bit noisy but I suppose thats typical from an unknown mileage essentially junkyard T5. I can get a rebuild kit for it later or get a z spec trans at some point.
Also have a few holes in the floor at this point and no interior so that can allow some noise in too. That aluminum flywheel is sweet and it seems that Falcon did a great job on the clutch and pressure plate.
Next on the List...
- Finish the Floor / Get a presentable Shifter Boot, Cut a Hole in the carpet.
- Change the Rear Gear Chunk to the 3.91 Trutrac Unit - While I have the Axles out and the Drum Brakes mostly removed It would be a fine time to put the Rear Disc Setup on.
- Install 13" Front Baer Brakes.
- Relocate Battery to Trunk
- Prep and Install lighweight Hood
- I am sure there's more but I cant think of it all right now.
Pics from some of the work that was done:
I finalized the clutch Linkage setup... This involved making sure the Z bar Mount placed the Z bar in the correct plane.. So I had to reclock the Ball stud that mounts onto the Bell housing to accomplish this.
Here is a shot of the Additional material I added to get the Ball stud studly and sturdy.
Here is the The New Driveshaft. Uses a 28 Spline 1310 Slip yoke and 1310 x 1310 U Joint up front and a 1310 x 7260 (small Mopar 2 1/8") Yoke Flange on the rear Axle.
Recycled Bits of Upper X Member Going In a Bit Higher now...
Had Some 1/8" Plate lying around that i cut up to fill the ~2.5" Space.
I have some more pattern Making to do to fill in the gaps.
The Cell Buckle on the steering wheel functions as my speedometer for now. I put the phone in there with the Speedometer app, until I can get something more real worked out.
Till Next Time,
Greg
