Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
I can't say that I have heard of them before. A 292 would be nice for sure.....

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
Jump on that 292 dude...they are one hell of a motor. I bolted a 600 edelbrock on mine and it runs like a dream...great torque in the low range...course..it all stock on the inside..but for being 48 years old and 147,000 miles on it..it runs darn good..and still does 4800 rpm!! LOL! Turbo time!

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
Picked up my pair of 15x8 steelies from my cousin when I went home for his wedding a couple weekends ago. We didnt have room in the car so they're still with my dad and brother in their shop for the time being. These are Kelsey Hayes and aside from a bend on the inside lip of one wheel, are in great shape. My brother just scored a set of the same Kelsey Hayes with baby moons like I've got from a junkyard local to him as well. We've been on a 15x8 steel wheel frenzy lately!
I decided that instead of swapping the gears over from the standard SM318 transmission I had, I would try my hand at redrilling it to work with the overdrive housing assembly. There are two extra holes in the overdrive cases...one for the overdrive shift rail, and one that is an oiling passage. I did the deed, drilling two holes and after a quick test fit, it looks like this will work well for me. Now I just need to get a set of gaskets so I can get it all back together. I've found the SM318 gaskets but am having trouble locating the gasket that goes between the overdrive and the adapter. If I can't find one...any reason why RTV or similar type sealand wouldnt work? |

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
I'd get some of the sheet gasket material and trace and make your own. I know that Pep boys has it and I've seen it on ebay. Comes in a few different sizes and styles.....cork, rubber, acrylic....normally around $10-12 for a roll or a couple sheets.

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
Didnt know they made that! You've been giving me all kinds of excellent info lately! The gaskets that come in these things look like they aren't much more than card stock....maybe not even that heavy duty

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
You may be also able to find it at Grainger and some plumbing supply houses. Had to fix a leaky old pump hooked to my moms well a few years ago and used the same gasket material to fix it. Made my own gaskets in all. It was ten bucks or so.

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
Found the right fiber gasket material at the True Value hardware store beside my house. The napa it shares a building with didn't have anything in stock so I figured I would poke my head in to see if the hardware store carried anything. Got a small roll of 1/32nd fiber gasket material with chemical treatment to withstand oil and gas. Got my gaskets cut out and Now I am fighting with needle bearings today...

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
Hahah yea it is TJ!
Finally got the trans all back together and it looks like everything is working like it should. Now to tackle the electrical side of this beast. Need to test my solenoid and see if it is working.. Debating on whether or not I need to use the governor... |

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
Trans came out great....and I'd hang on to the spare parts. Hopefully you never need them, but better to have them if you do.
And glad you were able to find sheet gasket!!

Yes, I was pumped to find the correct gasket material so close to the house! Its a good little hardware store. I love being able to ride my bike over to pick up little stuff like nuts and bolts when I'm in the middle of working on something. |

Re: The Egg Hauler.... not much of a build
Here she is. Drove it home yesterday. 93,000 mile 4bt with Allison trans. Not sure if I will use it in the 66 or not, but it's not off the table just yet.
