Corsetti cruisers tried to buy the 62 from us. I told him “you’ll have to fight my wife for it”.

"clunk"

"clunk"

Clunk, grinding marbles and high pitched wines.

A huge thanks to @samc2447 for his support on this project. Even if it’s mostly me asking where I put the 14mm socket.

My oil pan failed overnight. It had barely dripped before and then once I had the pan resting on the strap between the frame it likely popped the welds on the skid plate and poured out overnight.

I sourced a new pan and oem gasket from a friend locally. I’ll take a few days off to gather parts and plan for another wrenching session.

More parts?! Gah… someday we’ll get there. Good work so far! Must feel great!

It’s always “just one more small thing.”

It’s always “just one more small thing.”

And “while you’re in there already….”

 

[HemiAlex]

And “while you’re in there already….”

It’s already causing about 10% scope creep from what I expected. We can handle it.

He already has one of my plug-n-play harnesses that plug the H55f reverse indicator into the original a440f NSS connectors.
The 4wd and Low-range indicator switches on the T-case don’t need to be extended at all, an H55f is shorter then a a440f by about 8” so their wiring actually becomes longer then necessary, not shorter.
