I think you need to clean up the tranny & transfer case. The engine is too pretty.

[smichaelR22]

it may or may not get cleaned up.... have to prioritize at this point.

motor in.

[gCracker]

man that is going to be sweet!  and it looks so much better with the tires tucked in closer.

[smichaelR22]

motor mounts turned out very nice.  motor sittin on its own weight with a few bolts... have a long list for grade 8\"s this week from TSC.  Also changed the rear output to a 1350 yoke, and the front Dana60 to a 1350yoke.  new seals too.

[GTJake]

engine looks sweet! you just added alot of resale value by putting in a chevy engine! haha, just kiddin. it realy looks nice now. i saw another pic of it in another thread...looks like it would be alot of fun to wheel in

[smichaelR22]

going to try and work the bugs out of the motor this weekend and attempt to get some miles on it.  still need to figure out the rear drive shaft situation as i have one thats a bit too long and not really enough slip.

[smichaelR22]

busy weekend- got the motor running descent, a tank of gas through it so far.  She is a thristy girl.  chewed up a power steering belt and killed the battery from a tired alternator.  installed a new alternator, re routed a belt and adjusted the pump location- should be better.  

going to try going up a size or four in jets tomorrow, got no fuel in 3rd or 4th gear when you lay into it.


only problem drivetrain wise i see, my pitman arm bolt is hitting my tie rod a little...

Where are you getting your drive shafts done at? Prices? I have to shorten 2 of mine. Thanks.

carchameleon hooked me up through fleet pride to get them done for close to as cost.  i think it was 525$ for front 1350 with CV, a rear 1350 no CV, and 4 ubolt kits.  We also had 2 CJ stock shafts shortened for 50$ each for tube and ballance, 10$ a joint install.  Im not sure what prices are if you dont do it though a garage.  Another place which i have herd good things about (even though he couldnt find my parts over the phone) is Cook Brothers.
