Full Time Jeeper
It's time for a build thread Im thinking. Been working on my new to me 86 CJ7 my plan was to install a " rebuilt " AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l I picked up in December long story short I pulled the head off to install a 4.0 head and found that the motor was Worn out. Ok on to what I'm planing with this jeep. ( I will be driving to work and back after motor and tans is installed ) I'll start with the motor, building and rebuilding, installing 4.0 head, running Howells fuel injection, next thing is fix the rust and stress cracks in body. Clean frame repaint, Transmission I will install the T-5 latter I will be installing a T-18 with my Dana 300 that will be twin sticked. Axles have 3.31 gearing, front is open diff, rear is a Dana 44 , Ive been trying to decide between eton elockers or ARB lockers. When I buy lockers I will be regearing to 4.10 gears.
