1971 Dodge W100 Sweptline 383 Big Block Mopar Intermediate Shaft Bushing Replacement

With a custom made tool set, thanks ‪@bcautomachine8304‬ , I will replace the intermediate shaft bushing in a Big Block #mopar #383 without disassembly of the engine. This is like careful laparoscopic surgery as I'll only be working through the distributor hole! #nonamenationals

I ended up having to do basically the same thing on my engine! Thanks for the great advice, I probably would have had chunks of metal flying everywhere if it wasn't for this.

Glad it helped you! That's exactly why I do this.🏁

Thank you Sir! 👍

Hi Tony, good video.
You could always put grease on the tap.
It will catch most of the chips.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

Thanks Ed! I've used that trick before too. If I ever have to do this again, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for watching! 🏁🏁

I love hearing it purr like a kitten!

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

And that it does...

[@MostlyOldPartsAndRust]

Nice job Tony! I wonder if a blind bearing puller would pull the bushing out?

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

@@MostlyOldPartsAndRust That was my first thought. I have a 361 short block core that I used for R&D on this. The blind bearing puller pulled through the bronze making a mess and failing to remove the bushing.

[@MostlyOldPartsAndRust]

@@TonysHotRodGarage I wondered if the soft brass would cause a problem. Thank you for the information.

[@lbbruins7958]

Dang fine work sir! Awesome! Thank you!

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

Thanks! 👍

[@DanEBoyd]

Sounds good!

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

Thanks! 🏁

[@eddiegarcia9657]

So the bushing reamer installer tool isn't needed?

[@TonysHotRodGarage]

It is if you use the Mopar bushing. The aftermarket ones are sized to compensate for compression when installed.

Thank you sir great video!
