SOHC Driveline swap..

[Snoranger]

Let me know if you succeed. I am still torn between refreshing the SOHC in my garage for use in my B2 or just doing the head gasket that it needs and trying to sell it for $500. If you succeed I may be interested in the purchase of one of those units.

Here's a little update for you adsm, from a thread of mine on another site.

I never did find a can sync that fit the SOHC and I've had a problem with my swap. I've been getting a check engine light and code for the CPS... The truck runs great about 50% of the time. The rest of the time I have a slight lack of power, poor idle, and occasional stalling when cold. I assume thats due to the fact that the computer is firing the injectors at the wrong time since it doesnt know when its #1 or #5 at TDC.

The truck stalled at a toll booth on the Parkway on friday, and its pissed me off for the last time. (It started right back up, but thats not the point.)

So, If I cant find a cam sync, I guess I'll have to make one. I have a mini lathe in my basement "R/C car" workshop, a few "spare" OHV cam syncs, and a SOHC oil pump drive plug ( I cant go to the shop to work on my diesel swap, I have to watch my 2 year old this weekend). This is what I came up with:

(Left to right) Stock '95 cam sync, modified OHV cam sync housing, stripped down SOHC oil pump drive, SOHC oil pump drive shaft, OHC cam sync shaft.

Upper half of the cam sync and lower half of the oil pump drive, machined and ready to be assembled.

2 halves pressed together and ready to be cleaned and welded.

I'll stop by the chassis shop one of these days and weld it. Then its just a matter of putting the shaft back in and pressing the gear back on.
