Ive been ordering parts and doing small odds and ends on it but now im moving on to the motor pull so I can take the jeep to get blasted on the rust spots in march.
After inspection of the jeep it looks like the engine has been completely overhauled and with a new clutch so thats a good start. I recently bought some cheap chevy headers but failed to do the research about the motor. Then thought I could custom make some flanges for the headers but thats gonna run into an expense for redoing the exhaust so the idea here for me now is to keep it simple since its not going to be a hard core offroad or daily driver just a jeep to go out in the pasture hunting quail and taking out clients for a south tx experience.
pull the motor this morning without any trouble.
I started making a tie rod out of some 1.5 x.250 wall but realized it was to thick for adjustment for a spring under application so im going back to a stock tie rod. I almost finished the dog box but needs to get some aluminum for the flooring.
For now im just gonna paint the block and slowly add some things to the motor. The fenders got blasted so I will start rebuilding them with some 14 guage plate.
Im also going to use the stock manifold just get them blasted and throw some high temp paint.
