there is always the possibility of putting the head gasket in upside down, they have a definate front and back to match the ports for oil and water you need to test for pressure, the cheap and easy way to test is a radiater pressure tester placed in the radiater and run the engine looking for a fast build up of pressure, that will tell you what you already know anyway the best test is to use a cylinder leak down tester to fill the cylinders one at a time with air pressure and see where the air flows to, that will tell you which cylinder it is and what part of the cycle is leaking ( exhaust, coolant or rings)

I will post some more pic's later when I build some, I gotta sleep >;o)

this one peice would at least put you in good position to build the rear mount, http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount107.JPG but I put a lot of extra length in the rear lower mount so the trans can move an inch back and forth and still bolt up

I got a bunch of housings to build but as soon as I can I will knock a couple out for you guys, no problem http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motor%20mounts/transmissionmounts.JPG this will fit both the w series and the R 154 seres transmissions http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motor%20mounts/transmissionmounts1.JPG

I built my own transmission jack by combining my C frame ( because I am cheap ) >;o) http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount100.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount102.JPG I had to build a rear transmission mount for both the W series and the R series toyota transmissions to the Conquest http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount103.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount104.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount105.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount106.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount107.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount108.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount109.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount110.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount111.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount112.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount113.JPG

hey man drop bye sometime, you can reach me at my Japanese auto shop on alexis rd this is for Big John I built my own transmission jack by combining my C frame ( because I am cheap ) >;o) http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount100.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount102.JPG I had to build a rear transmission mount for both the W series and the R series toyota transmissions to the Conquest http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount103.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount104.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount105.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount106.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount107.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount108.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount109.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount110.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount111.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount112.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/motormount113.JPG

make sure the engine is totally drained of oil and antifreeze, I had to pay for a rug once when oil got all over the floor of the delivery truck

there is good news and there is bad news, first of all computer controlled cars need to draw amps all the time second , its not 2 amps there is a way to test draws on cars with a digital VOMeter but you gotta know what you are doing it takes one volt to push one amp through one ohm of resistance( ohms law for you computer guys) so you wire a 0NE ohm resister from radio shack IN SERIES with a digital VOLT meter and place it BETWEEN the battery post and the load, then measure the drawn volts, that number will match the amps being drawn, it should be a bout .5 amps

I have two finished wide blocks done, I forgot everyone i spoke to http://www.billsautofab.com/images/R154wideblock208(1).jpg

yeah I finished yours today, I built 2 more TKO narrow blocks too so I been hustling

you would have to have the 6 speed transmission of choice picked out Lance, to my knowledge your not going to be able to stack transmissions behind each other creating a 6 speed

Its been a while since I visited wth my wide block R 154, I been working on a lot of new systems and just kinda put it on the back burner, but busdriver asked me to get one ready for him so I dusted off the old pattern and built one raw casting I had on hand http://www.billsautofab.com/images/R154wideblock210.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/R154wideblock211.JPG busdriver didnt believe I had a couple laying around >;o))))))))) http://www.billsautofab.com/images/R154wideblock208.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/R154wideblock209.JPG

yeah man thats the real deal >;o)

they did come out exceptionaly well, the housings are very near perfect size and strength, but a couple things need to be finished, I need a die built to predictably build the flexplate and I need to have the flex plate SFI certified as well as the housing

make sure your cam timing is right 2500 RPM cut out is a dead givaway

I am trying to keep up with all the work, I have a few more bellhousings and adptors to finish, I will be glad to help anybody build thier car

just a fabricater, with a lot of friends that grew up in this kind of work

the original starter motor arriangement on all these starters are just two bolts, I have changed that to use all 4 bolts to attach the starter to the sandwich plate http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing110.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing114.JPG because of weight and drafting considerations, I knew a plate would have to be placed in the starter placement so a bolt could be attached to the rear of the starter motor http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing116.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/6G72adapterC4bellhousing117.JPG

hey Mingo, where are you?

I can't put a number to the time involved but I need to build it in kit form and figure out what it will cost, I have some new dies for my equipment being built now so I can do the job better/faster This will come with the starter, housing and flexplate sooooooooooooo If I was a betting man I would put it in the $600.00 range but there is a lot more coming, the water pump conversion is needed for this engine for this to work and I have a few suprises
