T19 swap nearly complete! - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

mkeown · 10-21-2001, 08:32 PM

Alright the transmission and transfer case are installed. I still have to bolt in the front driveshaft and put a bearing and return spring on the clutch linkage...they should be here tomorrow. I'm pretty pumped about this T19. Its a close box so while I dont have the crawler gear for wheelin, it should be fun on the street; and not too bad offroad. Just thought I'd share my joy!

jdjanda · 10-21-2001, 11:05 PM

I'm headed that route shortly. Auto to T98 swap (6.4:1 Granny). I'm gathering parts, just need the dam flywheel, and bell used parts. New I need a pilot bearing and pressure plate. I have everything else. Did you run into any problems you wern't ready for?

Joe

Overkiller · 10-21-2001, 11:13 PM

Joe, was it you that was asking me about the bellhousing ans flywheel? If that's holding up your swap let me know and I'll dig through my junk pile. I think I have 2 of everything.

Joe, the only thing I've run into was I didnt disconnect as many wires as I should have to pull the dash when I put the pedals in. SO now I have to reconnect some wires so my CD player and auxiliary lights work.

With everyone else jumping onto the Auto Tranny bandwagon...why are you guys switching?

I personally like the solid hook-up of a manual. Even without oil, I'm still getting home <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

They ARE switching from auto to manual.

That's what I meant...why are they going away from the Autos if they are supposed to be the hot set-up?

mkeown · 10-22-2001, 08:34 AM

The reason I'm switching is because my 727 was slipping from 2-3. I decided if I was going to have to pull it, then I may as well put a 4 speed back in. I drove a four speed (close ratio) Scout about a month ago and it was awesome. It just feels like the automatic sucks more power up than the manual.

It does...unless it has a lock-up converter

My slush box is almost done, first is smoked. BTW, the tranny would have held up better if I had lower gears 4.10's vs 3.54's. After my last trip I decided I'd had enough of always watching and stressing over the tranny temp. I also want to go lower gearing, the auto is going to be expensive to rebuild, and lower gears or a second t-case would cost me a lot more coin then a Tera low kit. Plus I have most of the parts from my other now dead project Scout.

Yup twas I, I'm not in too big of a rush. I need to start selling off some of my crap, before I do the swap or the wife is going to be <IMG SRC="smilies/pissed.gif" border="0"> I just picked up two trannies, one to swap, one to sell. In due time, most likely during the early spring. I drop you a line when I start gathering parts for the swap.

Joe

lt303scoutin · 10-22-2001, 11:24 AM

I'm doing the swap...as soon as I can afford the parts... for two reasons.

1. My auto is smoked also...3rd gear, nuetral and sometimes reverse is all that is working.

2. Bought a rebuilt Transfer case with the Bronco gears (2.46:1) and you cant get an Auto bullgear for it.

I'm really bummed, had a line on a free scout with T19 and all the parts/linkage I needed for the swap....Guy's wife wanted it out of the yard.. I was already to go pick it up, but he just told me the bank still has the title on it...damn

Scout Dude · 10-22-2001, 01:51 PM

Do you need the title?

I would not mess around with a rig where the bank still owns the title. You may be able to call the bank and buy the title for cheap.

lt303scoutin · 10-22-2001, 05:11 PM

he still owes $1300 on the loan, used scout as collateral...I'm gonna see if he'll sell just the tranny...

mkeown · 10-23-2001, 06:24 AM

Ok guys, I drove the Scout for the first time last night. It will really scream with the 4 speed! I felt a big difference between it and the 727. I guess the fuel injection helps too. Now if I can just get my gauge lights to work again and my driver side speakers to work <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Speakers <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> I don't even have a stereo. I have to sing to myself (like the commercial) "Opps, I did it again...."

Can you post the wiring diagram for your neon lights....

Details on the fuel injection setup please. I've driven Josh C's 75 with 304/stick and it has a lot more pop then my 345/727. Part of the reason I'm dumping the auto.

Joe

mkeown · 10-23-2001, 10:25 AM

Joe, I have the 2 bbl 670 cfm Holley Projection kit. It has the closed loop with oxygen sensor. It was pretty easy to set up. Just run new fuel line, with a return line and hook all the sensors to the wiring harness. Right now it sits on a spreadbore manifold, but I have a machined 2bbl manifold getting powdercoated right now. I'm going to put it on when I get a cam and some head work done.

lt303scoutin · 10-23-2001, 10:47 AM

I wonder if your one speaker sounds better than my actual operating 8-track through the stock speaker in the dash.

Nothin like a little Gorden Lightfoot or Cream playing .... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

mkeown · 10-23-2001, 08:12 PM

Actually I have two on that side <IMG SRC="smilies/glasses.gif" border="0">
