Now that's a cool project!
-
Hoping its finally something me and the old man can work on together instead of arguing about garage space
-
Clean up the garage , gain back some space instead of arguing about it. It looks very messy , items that are laying around and have been for a long period should be discarded . I purge ocassionally , if I didn't the junk would accumulate and overwhelm what little space I have. The first time , it was hard parting with treasures that had been stacked in boxes , I needed room more than I needed to archive un needed items , now it's easy to sort through and toss old useless crap and has become an anual event . Ever watched that television program called Horders ?

Sweet project if you need a 350 pm me
-
to bad you passed on the 'burb dude, that driveline would have been stellar in that thing.
-
i have to run a standard an auto is way to long for this thing, plus i really didnt pass on it considering i had cash in my pocket and you sold it ;)
-
snooze you loose ;) besides, i fetched a fair deal more than i would have let you have it for. can't blame a guy for not holding it.
probalby gonna have to stretch that wheelbase neways. unless you want to hook up the tcase to the diff ;) dem CJ5 have a pretty short wheelbase!
finish this one doug; its even better than you XJ
-
ya the rear drive shaft is a whopping 9" long hahaha it had a 350 with a ford toploader out of a mustang and a tcase but id rather just run all chevy thats why im planning 350/Sm465/NP205 instead of the hacked together setup before
-
an np205 in that! ouch! unless you allready got them maybe try a 231or a 300. 205 are strong, but heavy, hang low, and dont have much for a low range. just a thought dude. im sure the 465 can make up for the lack of low range but i dont know about the other 2.
nice jeep tho;)
-
was even thinkin of a 208 to shed some weight id like to keep the driveline all chevy so when something goes wrong parts are easy to find
-
