Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Are you going to convert the space in front of the transmotor into a trunk?

Put some motor mounts on and the radiator, with torn off hoses like it just jumped out of there somewhere along the way.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
The two motors in the original vehicle were working in conjunction? Or on and off at different times? LS motors have a fan relay in the Computer that turns the fans on and off as needed if the motor is working harder. Sometimes only one is working while other times both are working. Is the two motor transmission using the second motor as it needs it but in your arraignment locking them together will any computer reprogramming be necessary?

Wow that is cool, Alternator and starter in one. I have heard that the giant (three story tall) quarry dump trucks use electric motors for breaking.

with the truck almost one foot off the ground on blocks, I still could not roll the trans on the jack under it, so here I am literally hoisting up the trans with an engine crane just so I can set it on that stupid jack with the trans adapter on it, PIA PIA major PIA RECOMMENDATION: Do NOT Buy! |
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I got the HF trans jack, worked ok for the 4L60.

No, I splurged for the Pittsburgh $200 one. https://www.harborfreight.com/media/...0/60234_W3.jpg

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I always us a motorcycle jack with blocks of wood under the trans. If its not high enough, I add more blocks while under the truck. I usually have to jack up the truck to get the trans slid under too.
10/10 would not recommend for safety reasons. But I still do it..... |

having eliminated the original crossmember that held the Turbo TH350 transomatic in place in the first place, I moved on to one with some drop, using rubber feets from my stock radiator core support (run what you brong!)

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
looks like it was made for it
|
Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
That fit nice.
I just noticed that the front of the transmission looks like a "fidget". Yeah, keeping grandkids this week.... |

mounting the transmission is by far the biggest job on this project

I'm going with these Jeep like AMAZON motor mounts, figuring if they was strong enuff to hold an engine they ought to hold a transmission
now hang on to your comments as this is all just spit ballin' mock up, and that frame's got more twist and turns than you know it |
