ROTW: Brokenparts FJ-60

[brokenparts]

So you are running stock springs with your SOA? I had thought that you were using the 3" lift springs on top of the SOA.

nope stock springs...

No kiddin... one of these days man. I'm headed to Moab this year...

nope stock springs...

Very cool. You didn't have to trim much to fit the 39.5s.

 

[brokenparts]

Trust me... I'll be doing more tirmming now that the springs have settled.

Any current shots of the current ride height with the 39.5s?

Are you gonna try and give Desmond a run for his money with your 60?

You have a assload of parts for an EVIL build.

Are you going to stay leaf sprung when you switch to the Tons?

Whatever you do, I am certain it will get you into more trouble....

 

[brokenparts]

not totally sure yet... I really like that the fact that I can hop in it and just enjoy driving it around. Using leafs certainly would be easier/cheaper and more road worthy. I've come to to realize that this won't ever be a rig like Desmond's... its just too big. If I am able to run 90% of what they run and still go get milk, I'll be happy. I am still really tempted to bob it like kling on's or mace's. We'll see.

I cant see paying $300+ to go the beehive route (allows more lift for vortec heads) at least on this build... I think this is a good medium ground for my motor. I also have to remember that I will be still running toy junk under there for awhile. The comp cam calculator has the motor at 360hp and 410ftlbs. . I can live with that.

Just dropping into say its looking good buddy...

 

[brokenparts]

thanks man... I know I should be building a buggy but I just cant seem to stop building the 60.

 

[brokenparts]

some more junk showed up...

So I had some time tonight so decided to start pulling apart my th400 to swap the output shafts. I bought a later model th400 with a round bolt 205. To make everything work for a 203/205 I had to get the right output and adapter. I'll still have to swap the input on the 205 but that'll be another thread. Anyway... I found a good thread on pirate to follow along on and went for it:

removed the pump bolts:

I reached up with the back of my ratchet and ever so gently popped out the pump:

next I pulled the pan:

which exposed the valve body:

and the roller thingamagig:

speedo:

then pulled the valve body... the suggested way was to do them evenly:

this was in one of the valve body tubes:

valve body on the table:

and what's underneath:

lots of little paths and steel balls:

removed the servo:

 

[brokenparts]

now it got interesting... I tried to pull everything out in chunks.

First was the foward clutch which came out pretty easy:

and out

and then the direct clutch. it was also pretty easy to remove:

I forgot to take a picture of removing the band but basically there is just a little pin to move and then it come straight out...

then the intermediate clutch. Kinda tough to see but there is a snap ring that you have to move past the little stops:

then the biggest pain... the center support snap ring.

but I won:

then I took the planetary out and removed the snap ring and switched the shafts:

planetay with the long shaft

the guy on pirate clamped down to remove the snap ring so I did the same thing:

the two shafts compared:

new shaft installed:

the mess:

You are my hero .. I never ( never ) gonna take my A442 apart .. it's just scary me the science behind an auto tranny ..

 

[brokenparts]

ok, I managed to shoe horn the 60 into the garage and started prepping it for all its new junk... building the motor, one ton axles, th400,203/205, h1s, 42s, cage, fender cutting... possible bob job.
