VW 1.9 TD engine and saginaw steering in a Cj3b

wow I can't wait to see this one complete! Gives me a whole bunch of ideas to think about for my engine rebuild or swap

 

I do not have many advances, I've had some exams at university and spent last days preparing the xmas things. Tomorrow I'll put some new pictures.

Wuze I have to meet you this summer when the jeep will be ready. I work as faster as I'm able.

Well, here a few pictures of the progress

Here taking out the Perkins engine




Here all the whole transmission




The Jeep without engine & transmission

 

this is the flyweel and the bellhousing, all mated there is not much room left...


the tranny, with the new bellhousing, pressclutch and clutch on the mainshaft


This space is for the adaptor plate between the VW bellhousing and the T-90

 

Now I have a problem, there is not enough room to place the slave cilinder so I must to make a new linkage to actuate the clutch. I'm thinking on not put hidraulic and make a mecanical linkage (easier, faster and cheaper for me).

While I'm doing the adaptor plate and the clutch linkage I'll start to adapt all these things: YJ suspension kit, rear disc brakes and start to take out the original steering box to adapt a new saginaw steering; the new engine has steering pump so probably I'll put a hidraulic box.

 

After many months stalled my project, today I've been working a bit on it.

Past weekend received a new custom cluth adapted to the new VW flywheel and pressure plate. I Needed to grind a bit the cluth area near to the crankshaft and the side of the crankshaft.






Also replaced the crankshat seal





As I have adapted a different diameter bellhousing and flywheel I have to make a new plate between the engine and bellhousing. Used a 3mm. sheet metal to make it.






and this is my helper!

Looking Great!!!

A bit more of work, I got a new bronze cartridge case to mate the crankshaft and mainshaft. With all centered in their final position I have to make a 4,7cm (almost 2") adaptor plate.
