The page says, "This Decal Went of the lid of the oil filter housing in front of the wingnut". These people probably do know the difference in the oil filters housings. The website is under contruction, so one can not order anything at the present time. WWW.jorepro.com, maybe to order.

Anyway, as far as I can tell, you have a 1947 Plymouth with the original block. This engine, according to my manual, is a 218 Cubic Inch, which has a stroke of 4 & 3/8, compared to the Dodge 230, which has a stroke of 4 & 5/8. I could not figure why you were looking for a 230 crank, but I guess you could make a 230 using a Dodge crank in a Plymouth engine. A good Motor Manual would be a good investment. I found a Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1940-1953 on ebay. This has been a big help. Anyway,,,,Good Luck, & hang in there. ....Bob...........

Do you mean the 5th gear ratio of the T5? ,,,,,,"(I've heard the t5 is .78 or .84)"............The 5th gear runs anywhere from 0.63 to 0.81, depending on which trans you have.
-
The gear spread looks like: 3.96,,2.07,,1.39,,????,,0.84.......................
-
This is the bottom. 14 bolt pan. Mechanical speedometer gear. Seems like the 1988 and up have a 1 piece bell, so would not be adaptable. The 1983 to 1987 Toyo Kogyo was used in alot of vehicles, Bronco 11, Aerostar, Rangers, etc. Found rebuild kits for $137, plus $60 for syncro ring kits.
-
Have not found any information on the gearing. Only info I have at this time is these are in 1983 to 87 Rangers. I was looking for a T5 at the salvage yards when I came accross some of these. Bought this one from an ad in the paper, for $50...............Bob...............

Center hole needs to be close to 4.40 inch.
-
I am using my stock 1938 bell housing. Added a 2 inch piece of angle iron for the bottom, to bolt on the lower 2 bolts of the 5 speed trans. The center hole needs to be milled out about 1/8 inch. I will let the machinist take care of that.
-
This one was on ebay last month. Listed as 1938. It would look good in my 38. It was in Canada, so shipping too much for me.
-
My project I have been working on is to adapt a 5 speed to my 36 engine. This is a 5 speed from a 86 or 87 Ranger. I believe 83 to 87 Ranger 5 speeds are very similar. These are not T5 5 speeds. The name is TOYO KOGYO 1983-87. The pilot shaft seems to be a good length if not using and adpter plate, but an adpter plate may be used.

I will take some more pictures soon. have a new clutch dish for it. $1.00, ebay. The shaft length seems real close to what is needed. Shifter at rear of trans.
-
Read on the net, that Dodge had some very large flat 6 engines for heavy duty trucks. dual carbs, exhaust, etc.

what is the mileage on your car? (original)
Robert Horne replied to claybill's topic in P15-D24 Forum
My 38 Coupe had 67,000 when it was parked in 1970. Still has about same mileage but has a 36 engine, do not know mileage on the 36. The trans, and rear end still the same. -
On my 1938 Plymouth, I used a soleniod/relay to operate my starter instead of the stock floor operated unit. My starter was from a 1953, but I bought a 1956, 12 volt remanufactured unit, used same relay. My engine is a 36 model. So I have a 56 starter on a 36 engine. Works good.
-
A good looking job there. 95% of the floor on my 38 was replaced with steel from a hot water tank company, thick but not too difficult to bend by hand, must be soft steel. Your piping looks real good. Did my pipes before I put in the floor, made it alot easier. Nice photos...

He could probably see as well as I do, with all these new "brighter than a mig welder" lights on cars today. I try not to drive any at night any more. I can tell when a Ford truck is behind me. Have to pull over and let him go by.
-
I ran a test on my 38 on a 94 degree day. Let it idle for about an hour in the hot sun, no cap, just a cooking temp gauge in the radiator. Engine temp went to 191. I did the test the next day with the cap on, about the same temp, 190. Not bad for a long time idle on a hot day. I think my car would be okay if I got stuck in traffic, but I believe I would have a difficult time. A friend of mine went to the Pigeon Forge Tenn. rod meet in September, seen alot of big engine cars on the side of the road overheating.

My 49 had been sitting for many years. The drums looked very good, but had a high spot. When I would spin the wheel slow, I could feel the high spot very easy. So I had to have them turned down lightly.
-
My bell housing looks to be 7.75 inch to the block. The T5 shaft looks to be more than 6.5 from the trans to the pilot bearing, not sure of total length.
-
This is a 5speed from a Ford Ranger that is not a T5. This is a 1987 or 1986. I hope to link it up in my 38 Coupe......Bob......
-
Thanks Don C. I have save alot of your photos of your T5 setup. I was wondering when using an adapter plate, about the length of the pilot shaft and bearing. I would rather have my bell housing machined out to accept the shaft retainer bearing, if possible......................
-
I see in Don C photos, he did not use an adapter plate. When using an adapter plate, did you have any problem with the pilot shaft length lining up into the pilot bearing. Do you have any photos of the pilot bearing? thanks, Bob.

how to remove a truck from what was its final resting place?
Robert Horne replied to 41/53dodges's topic in P15-D24 Forum
My friends and I go ATVing. When stuck in the mud, it is best to try winch upward at as much angle as possible to lift the front out of the mud or dirt, and dig as much dirt away from all 4 wheels. Put your cable hooks on the axle near the wheels. good luck, Bob -
The large one came off my 37. Must have been a truck unit.
