Hey, hey, hey, What's going on with Mart's 32 then. Well, we've been playing catchup getting the motor built, ain't we. So the motors built, but it can't be fitted without three things. A pair of water pumps and a gearbox.
In this video I touch on the pumps, but put them on one side while I concentrate on the gearbox.
I'm not going to lie, I made more mistakes than I should have, but as you will see, I show that it's actually quite easy, and practice makes perfect.
So watch me muddle my way through this build. I learnt a lot while doing it, and hopefully you can learn too, and avoid the mistakes I made.
Lots more to come in future videos, so stay tuned and see what I can make a meal of next time.

Mart great video, do you have the measurements for your tranny stand, I’d like to try welding something up, I don’t have a spare transmission to use to mock it up.
Thanks

Hi Vette. I have lifted this reply from a post where I showed the stand.

Short legs are 3-1/4"
Uprights that bolt to box are 10-1/4"
Feet are 15"
Allow an extra 7/8 for the folded over parts on the short legs.

Mart.
