That pic does nothing for me

I know the spool must have a little and the. Piman arm I got is to short for the 60 but if I went with a longer pitman arm the tie rod would smash it and the lockrite is irelevent in 2wd I guess ill just deal with it

If it sucks in 2WD, it's going to suck even more in 4WD.

Turn all the way to the left/right and see how far the knuckles are from hitting the stops.

Its a solid 1/4-3/8 from the stops gonna go search pirate again tonight for the pitman arm thread
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

OK, now we're getting somewhere.

Quick look at it seems like none of the holes conflict between the AMC and Ford patterns, and the dowel pins should clear everything as well.

I'll sketch it up in a short while. Do that, and machine a crank spacer/adapter to go from the Ford V6 flywheel pattern to a Jeep 4.0 flywheel pattern, and this shit might work.

I'm not an engine builder, but would a flywheel spacer affect engine balancing?

I would imagine that would be pretty important on something that will see 7k+ rpms.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Shit, I can get a smoking deal on a 4.0/AW4/NP231 combo but I'm not sure if it will all bolt together i'll have to machine some custom spacers and make custom length driveshafts and cut the floor up a bit and call Dannys BS adapters XXXX this just keeps getting harder









:D

I'm running a WJ pitman arm, its almost an inch longer for more throw and a little less drop then stock. I filed out the master splines so I could clock it however I want on the sector shaft.

Both the Yamaha 3.0 and the Jeep 4.0 are internally-balanced motors, so the flywheels should both be neutrally-balanced as well.

I'll be doing the bottom end bearings anyway so it wouldn't be that big a deal to bolt the crank/adapter/flywheel together and get the whole assembly checked.

Rack and pinion could solve all your steering issues guys!

Ok cool. Was mostly talking out of my ass but wasn't sure if it was an issue or not.

I definitely plan on balancing my 440. My brother's built 360 isn't balanced and he complains that it vibrates a bit at higher rpms.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

In thinking about this more.

I'm looking at getting an adapter plate made to bolt to another adapter plate. Might make more sense to provide the bellhousing dimensions I just found to the company that makes the adapter, and get a quote on having them just make me a single custom plate.

Just thinking about what you said before with a flywheel spacer.

What's the length of the input shaft required versus the length of the bellhousing/adapter plates?

You'd have to have a bronze bushing machined for the flywheel spacer depending on how thick it is and where the input shaft rests.

Not a dealbreaker, but just another thing to put on the plate.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I'd probably have the spacer machined to accept a standard bushing or bearing, rather than machine the bushing itself.

I don't know what the net thickness will end up having to be. There's a little bit of wiggle room there, so I imagine I'll just have to measure it off both transmissions and figure the difference.
