<VV> 1967 Monza ~ Temp Work-around : 140 --> PG?

[corvairduval at cox.net]

Easy. Just remove the pilot bushing from the end of the crankshaft if the
140 HP was mated to a manual transmission.

Use the PG belhousing/flex plate/torque conveter of the 110 HP you remove.

If you are pulling it out later to fix leaks, do not even replace the crank
seal at this time. Use "Right Stuff" to help old bellhousing gasket and oil
pan gasket, but SPARINGLY!!!

It will run fine. Not as good as a 140 HP with the correct crank gear for 4
degree retard, but good.

Plan A : 
Replace entire 110 PG with 140 4-speed (don't have parts yet)

Plan B (to expedite a 'quick fix' for HOA rules) :
Leave PG in car and mate up 140 to PG that's in the car now 

I need to make this thing run by Thursday to satisfy HOA rules : no non-op
cars allowed, must run and move, mufflers optional, don't have to be pretty,
etc.

So my work-around might be to just "stick" the 140 case onto the PG that's
already in the car, to satisfy the code guy, who wants to just see it move a
few inches under its own power, to make him go away.

Then, take it back out and hopefully do it right before he comes back!!!!

The 140 case I got at the GWFBT leaks oil like a sieve but I can fix that
when I pull it back out (hopefully?)

This was a long-term project until HOA decided to force the issue with their
codes, so now I have until this week to make him happy.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

Charlie
