Thanks Joe.

One more step in the right direction...
A newly rebuild trans/transfer case.

 

[I-R-POPS]

Houston we have a problem.
I knew the transfer case was going to be an issue with the torsion bar set up.
It will all work except for the front drive shaft.

Coil overs?
Straight Axle Swap?
I'm in too deep to not to go 4WD.

One up or one down [S
Good luck with it [P

 

[kenny c]

[S[SIs there a way to clock the transfer case? Could you use a different trans and maybe a divorced transfer case? How about rotating the key a the end of the torsion out of the way and build another anchor?

 

[DozerII]

Wow that really sucks. That's what I was thinking Kenny rotate the torsion bar adjuster down out of the way[S[S

 

[kenny c]

If it can be done maybe move it 90 degrees so that the adjuster screw is parallel with the ground.[P

Cut the cross member off and lower it two inches.

 

[I-R-POPS]

Note to self.......

When drilling, think about drilling not torsion bars.

 

[I-R-POPS]

Thanks for the brain storming guys.

Me being me I've got to use the transmission that I built and it has to be where where it has to be to work. After I get the motor and transmission mounts in place then I'll deal with the issue of the torsion bar.

My dear old dad used to tell me if it was easy any one could do it.

 

[soltz]

Rest assured your not the first or last that has/will bleed for a project
Rest well, you'll have time to think about the problem [cl

I did that with a sawsall. (slightly different location) I told the doc to give me a Frankenstein scar so I don't forget again. Glad you are OK.

once in a while I need to do something stupid like that to keep me focussed.... Ever wonder why Torchie is always focussed...?

 

[smallfoot]

Your floors , like most of ours, would be marked as a crime scene if they ever did an investigation of all the blood stains on the floors! That cut's position is going to make it a little painful using that hand for a minute or two. We all do it but be careful...

Like a laser I am.[ddd
I stopped counting stitches at 350 and that was before they started cutting things off of me.[ddd
Sending you healing vibes, POPS.

Holy! That's a good one.

We've all done stupid stuff like that when we weren't paying quite enough attention. In 2018 I cut halfway through the end of my thumb with brand new battery powered hedge clippers. They were nice and sharp.

Take a rest and heal up!

 

[bob w]

Ouch! Don't do that anymore.
