it is very easy to bolt a Saginaw in place of the 3FE pump

Hey Matt, I’ve been searching a fair bit , not finding much…any info on this mounting setup?

I’ll know this coming week if I can get a factory passenger side PS pump mount to bolt on my 2F head…which I assume is what you had referenced above?

Cheers

Man, nothing better than spending time with your Pops.

Facts!

Will you tell our 17 YO boy that?

Yeah, when he's 25.

 

[Ol Yeller]

Yeah, when he's 25.

Son is 20 now, he is busy chasing skirts and hanging with his buddies, pretty much where I was at. He still surprises me from time to time and hangs with me/us.

Small progress but still out there picking away yesterday.

Drilling & tapping holes and I figured out I need the rear axle further together to get this right. So spent all evening finding hardware and cleaning it up, the thread bar is getting a workout.

 

[Ol Yeller]

Cleaning today, I kinda dropped the ball on hardware.
None is labeled & none cleaned, so that is slow process getting first grease off & then soaking in rust converter.

The studs I did yesterday came out great so they are all in now with blue loctite.

Decided to clean the diff as best I can before it goes in the housing.

Do yourself a favor if you use the drill for anything other than a wire brush holder, order a "50-RV13 Röhm 1322450" chuck and make it the best drill in your shop.

They don't always work but this is a Amazon link..

Great. One more thing I need.

Actually I do need a new chuck for my Milwaukee corded 1/2" rotary hammer drill. Never thought about going keyless on that drill but that would be nice if they make one to fit it.

I know what you're going to say, but I don't like (Hate) keyless chucks. Give me a key and I'm happy, goes back to having a key for my skates.

You never know what I'll say out loud...

I figured that was coming......

We've all seen you and your paper map and sexton guidance system driving randomly in a circle no need to remind us.

Where's your sense of adventure.

They are that good, eh?

 

[Ol Yeller]

Been a minute since this thing had springs under it…I need to ream the spring pad holes a bit, won’t quite slide on.

And another part of the puzzle arrived, thanks to @Gimme a 60

Looks like a simple mod to mount a Saginaw pump with this.

Working on the rear housing, I realized today I should do the sway bar mounts before putting the Diff in it so that is the next mini project.

 

[Ol Yeller]

Stuff like these little sway bar brackets just suck the hours, will still need to extend the links once it’s on the ground.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Make some beefy ones verses stock...

 

[Ol Yeller]

Thought I’d be welded up the rear housing by now…nope, weekend shop time was cleaning rusty crusty crap, ugh.

Did do a bit of CAD today, just thinking about the steering box.

 

[scrapdaddy]

How did that Rust Check work for you?

 

[RUSH55]

What’s your plan for shock towers?
