The last CJ7 1986 rebuild

[LASTCJ786]

Thanks. This time around I'm making some upgrades. I'm working to make it all work again. The big up grades are the Scout Dana 300 and 1" body lift. Well the new frame does take the cake.That's the main reason it had to be fixed.

What tranny are you running with the Scout Dana 300 ?

 

[LASTCJ786]

There is only one tranny to run LOL Jeep T-18 (6:32 first gear)

Where did you find an adapter to hook a Jeep pattern Transmission to a Scout pattern Transfer Case ?

In 1980 (ONLY) the Scout 2's used a TC146 Dana 300 Transfer Case behind a T19 It has the texas bolt pattern of a Jeep Dana 20 . I bolted My Jeep T-18 (same bolt pattern as the T19) to the Scout Dana 300 using the T19 mannul bull gear.

Jeep T-18 6:32 first gear
Scout TC 146 Dana 300 2:60 low range

The Scout Dana 300 looks like a Dana 20 but they don't have a bottom bolt hole and the speedo cable is on the passengers side. I also added a twin stick to my 300.

Cool, I had not seen that done. I used the Ford T19 with the 6.32 low to the Jeep Dana 300 in my rig.

We tried to fire it up on Saturday but looks like it needs a fuel pump.
also the tranny wil not shift? added the twin sticks? the clutch seems to be working but waiting on a new longer linkage. What's up with that?

 

[LASTCJ786]

I think I pulled the T-18 shifter out in gear? I'll have to check. Got in and installed rod links clutch linkage rods. real nice.Going to replace the fuel pump next.

 

[LASTCJ786]

Replaced the fuel pump, put the T-18 shifter back in the right place.
blead the brakes,Thanks to by buddy Ben another CJ7 guy. For all his help
The last CJ is alive! Backed it out of the driveway for the first time in a year and a half.
