Coat those GND posts with battery terminal spray where they start, and where they end(dash etc.).
LOOKS GOOD!

Been in hibernation for awhile but back. I will be starting a new project on the CJ - its been so long I don't even remember if this thread is related to my current CJ or my old one but its going here! I have a 1986 Bronco that I built with a modestly heated up 351w and the Bronco is suffering from some serious rust. The AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l in the CJ is also on the way out, low compression, missing etc.....so the 351w is headed into the CJ.

I have a Jeep T-18 in the CJ now - I don't believe that will connect to the 351W - is that correct? Shaft length etc? I may pull the T18 and rebuild it while I'm in there and could put the correct shaft in. Any other issues with the connection?

Cheers all!

It’s only been 10 years. About the time i found this place. Time to get back at it !

I like the interesting combo of a Windsor with a T-18 in a CJ7 .
I have a Windsor in my ‘69 Bronco.
Some things to consider, off the top of my head:
-Clutch engagement at bell housing. Maybe hydraulic is the answer?
-Header clearance? Might need shorties?
-Motor mounts, of course.

Have fun!

Great dyno shot and a great pull. You can hear when the load is applied.

My old 401 picture. 700 HP with a roller lunati system which I removed because I was not sand dragging anymore. A complete sequential direct port fuel injection. The aluminum heads were flow and match ported. So frickin tunable.

Woah - nice - are you running the rotisserie on the weber with it now?

Yep, still BBQin Programing the correct fuel map curve was a pain though when I transitioned from separate O2 sensors to two. Each were in the separate header.
