Re: Wampus Cat
February 2017
Painted the doghouse rattle-can semi-gloss black.
Installed rebuilt engine back in the truck.
Installed new front and rear motor mounts (the old ones were spongy from oil leaks and age)
Installed new flywheel and clutch kit, new clutch actuator rod bushings, new clutch actuator arm boots.
The truck is a bit of a Frankenstein of different parts, and I discovered that the standard Chevy starters would not fit the combination of 10.4" clutch, 153T flywheel, and truck bellhousing. Decided to go with a mini gear reduction starter which fits but has not yet been tested. I was hoping to fire up the engine in February (Fenginebruary), but the starter problem delayed ignition.
