Looks good, glad we twisted your arm to make it down to the field.

I’m in, late june-early july would be best for me.

Thats a good looking little carb, if the Carter doesn’t pan out it might be worth a try. I briefly looked for some numbers on the carb but couldn’t see anything meaningful. After looking again I’m 99% sure its YFA. Andrew will be down Tuesday and we’ll start working on the jeeps then, might drop the...

Good info in those links, I’ll get the numbers off it today but I also think it is a YFA. I did some looking and Comp makes a few cams for the 2.3, smallest being their High Energy 201/201@.050, .400 lift, 110 Lsa, 800-4800 operating range. I think we need to get the carb and ignition sorted first t...

Craftsman 35-230 amp AC stick welder, worked good last time I used it but that was a few years ago $80 Pair of Flowmaster Super 10 mufflers, 2 1/4” center inlet/outlet, $60 Stihl MS 191T top handle chainsaw, 14” bar. Has carb issue and has been sitting on the shelf for a few years - SOLD Stihl MS 17...

Reworking my farm shop and have tons of stuff that needs to go to make more room. I’m going to post it here first and if there isn’t interest it will go on craigslist. All prices are obo. Bench top sand blast cabinet on cart, complete just needs a little TLC to work good. $125 1970s Onan 4000w twin ...

Looks good. I had a regular cab ‘97 2.7/5spd that I wheeled the heck out of bone stock, they are quite capable trucks. Looking forward to seeing more.

Looks good, if you go with 1-ton axles better step up to at least 39’s or you’ll actually be losing ground clearance over what you have.

Yessir it sounds pretty good at 6 grand, can’t wait to sink it up to the doors in some good ol gumbo and see what it’ll do

I should have done a better job documenting the build on my ‘49, glad to see you took some pics along the way. For some reason I was thinking this one was the one from Ohio. Maybe that was just a parts jeep, I guess my memory is shot.

It sure went good the last time we were at potts. I guess you changed the t-case shortly after the trip?

Looks good! Can't wait to hear it run! Thanks man, it sounds really good :mrgreen: Buttoned the motor up with Felpro rubber oil pan and valve cover gaskets with studs for leak free running and easy removal. Also reinstalled my 1 1/2” shorty headers (which turned out to be problematic), my Holley hi...

The top end consists of Edelbrock E-Street 170cc heads with 60cc chambers, Edelbrock Performer intake, Comp 1.6 roller rockers and as pictured a Crane 272H flat tappet cam (which I swapped out, more on that later.) I completely disassembled the heads and spent a few hours with a die grinder doing so...

Just pulled the 351w out of the ‘79 for a freshen up so I thought I’d update this thread with a few things I’ve learned. Terry and I built the original motor almost 15 yrs ago and it has 11,000mi on it, much of those are off-road miles and horrible abuse. The motor still had 190psi of compression on...
