Eagles International Forum

Well I made a trip to Eric's to pickup what he had spent my money on !
Brought back the engine, trans, rear end, radiator, trans cooler, front ac condenser, charge air cooler.
Need to change rear gear ratio and I have had continous problems with a seal on my rear so I got a complete housing from Eric . ( guaranteed not to leak , lol ).
I have enclosed a few pictures of this mess of parts. I have the 8V71 almost ready to pull. First I have to get running a fork lift I purchased from a govt auction, Figured I needed a little help to move stuff.
ED

Hey, that looks like a project that will require some work!

Pull that 8v71 and get to work!

I pulled my old one and couldn't give it away. Got some good change at the scrapper for it though!

Paul, I hate to scrap this 8V71. It really only has 49k on a Williams Detroit
complete rebuild. Think I'll just protect it the best I can from the elements
someone will need a good one eventually.
Got a 6V92 and 740 trans and a Mt654 Trans( good for those MCI 5 guys )

ED

What's up with the rear housing ED are going to change to take care of the seal problem,ask Brown what happen to that drop box from it lol

I have the copies made for you on the 60 series install from Eagle it has some ideas maybe you can use

Clifford

Yep . Clifford changing housing to get rid of seal problem. The brake cans are on the front on this rear and on the rear on mine, makes no difference
right? enough clearance on front Is all that matters ?
Ed

You know how those drop boxes dissapear Clifford!!LOL Ed has plenty to keep him busy till SPRING!! When he left here I kept waiting to hear sirens from a crash!!! He had a ton of weight on it. He only blew one tire!.

Update, got my forklift up and going after a little much needed maintenance. It worked good and pulled the engine and trans with no problem.

Some pictures
Slid back ready to pull



My Helper



Its out !!



Ready for any one needing one !!



Now the fun begins, cleaning, sand blasting and raising the floor



ED

Got the back end about as stripped out as possible. Now to cut out bad metal , sandblast good and start the floor raising project.

I mailed the 60 series install let me know when you get it pay close attention to the transmission mount people do get away without one but my friend at WW Williams says not to hang a Allison on a series 60 with a aluminum bell housing without a support fwiw

Clifford

Looking Good Ed.

You Will Love The Extra Power You Have With The S60. I Really Really Love Mine !! ( there is a God)

I Look Forward To Your Progress Pictures.

Also.....I Would Also Be Interested In Seeing The Transmission Mount Setup You Speak Of Clifford. (makes sence to me).
