Sixty project.....finally

I don't have any experience with a sixty but it sounds like a cool project. Pictures as you go would be nice. Good luck

A sixty with a Detroit that was installed years ago. I would have to run it that way and show off their inginuity.

A good friend of mine said the same thing. I think the engine had some issues with the blower at the very least so I decided not to mess with it. Really the old fellow that built it had to be pretty sharp with the cable control he built from scratch on the front of it. Still worked and was live -- it ran off of the engines crankshaft. Shure was ugly though but worked.

Howdy neighbor

Well howdy neighbor. what is your location. Can't be too far.

Well today I decided to tackle the clutch and realized the shaft has been shortened where the clutch mounts so I have to swap upper transmission shafts. The service manual says to go out the rear with it. Can I go out the front since my engine is out , or does it have to go out the rear? I would rather not have to remove my belt pully if I can go the other way. Thank You

The top shaft is stepped. I think it must come out from the back.

Would love to see pics of the 60 with a Detroit, that would be a fast 60 if it didn't have another transmission

Thanks for the replies. Phildirt I was afraid that might be the case.. Steve, I'm not sure we ever took a picture of it. It was so ugly. I will have to see about getting a picture of the Detroit setup and you would have to use your imagination a little bit. It did have its own 4 speed tranny right behind it and it was still pretty fast even in low gear.
