Aussie Gremlin

Is that an Aussie AMX I see on the other side . What number is that one

Haven't updated here for a while, did eventually finish the brake line installation, still hadn't run the rear line in this picture, but it's all done now:



One reason for the non-standard proportioning valve location was to allow for installation of the line lock on the other side.

I was trying to avoid a transmission rebuild, but when I pulled the pan off my other spare transmission I found this:



So obviously that didn't leave me with too many options:



So far I've managed to install the bolt in sprag so just a few more bits left to go:



In other news, I took my pile of diff bits down to the diff shop and got them to put them together:



Truetrac centre and 4.10 gears should get the job done:



PS: AMX number 3 I think Doug

Sometimes you have to improvise:



At least it's starting to look like a transmission again:

Moving right along, it was then time to sort out this concoction of parts to make a torqueflite bolt up to the back of a 71 motor that wasn't intended to have one:



Goes together something like this using a modified convertor for the job:



And ultimately there was success, even got the factory kick down assembly mounted up:

Final job to do before dropping the engine is was to install the Lokar transmission dipstick, nobody told me it need to go in before you install the pan:



Of course said pan then wouldn't go back on, so the dipstick copped a bit of a trim:



Done:



Then the moment of truth, dropping the assembly into the hole, what an absolute nightmare, but after seemingly hours of struggling with angles and position, finally success:
