I am installing a 801 motor from a stationary
power unit into a 821. There hasn't been a ford
motor in the 821 for many years. I am using the
motor spacer plate from the stationary PU as it is
under the flywheel.
I have the motor up to the bell housing and when
I tighten the three (so far) 3/8 ? bolts (1 on
top,1 each below the starter and pass side)I get
an interference when I rotate the front pulley.
If I power through the interference it "clunks"
and turns. If I stop at the point of interference
it"locks up"
If I back out the bolts 1/4 inch there is no interference, and there is cylinder compression.
things I noticed:
1) There is a plate on pass bottom of the bell
housing (I have no 3 point) that blocks the
hydraulic line.
2) If I bolt up the starter it only spins,(no
engagement).
3) I have to adjust the clutch eye bolt all the
way down to feel the fingers touch (new clutch).
1) DOES THE HYDRAULIC PLATE COVER GET REMOVED?
2) SAME STARTER FROM STATIONARY PU.
3) DO I NEED TO HOOK UP FRONT AXLE?
4) THERE IS A SHERMAN HI LO AUX TRANS
5) What can be locking up??
i am ready to pull out the motor What should
I look for?
Thanks
