Alright, got pictures of the frame as it sits and the engine.

I posted another picture of the complete engine before paint. Its painted the ole AMC blue color. I'll try to remember to take pics of it later. Also, there should be a picture of a blackhawk.

Just the rear end left.

I'm picking up my engine tomorrow. Pics should be posted. A friend also is wanting to sell a 4.0 to me with the 5 speed for $350. He is wanting to convert to a Chevy 350. The engine is solid but the transmission needs some work. I forgot to ask how many miles it has. So what do you guys think?

Thanks Jason, I can't wait to run a new cable harness. So when I get back home I will sending my frame to be stripped, ecoated, and powder coated. I have been thinking about my transmission and axle options. Whether I want to look and find a 4 speed or rebuild my 3 speed. Also, as I mentioned in...

So my ipad and a iphone jeepz app just started working again. I'll be disposed of of a while starting next week so I told the machine shop that my engine has to be completed by Thursday. Finally, some process to recovery for this jeep. I am too excited.

Sorry, crank it up. Has it run since the change.

Looks Good! Have you crunch it up after wiring the engine?

Because I am paranoid about messing up the clearances on my rods and crank, the machine shop is going to help me assemble the bottom end of my engine. Before and after pictures of the block.

Wow! Wish someone would make that deal with me. Doesn't get much better than free.

Also, the connecting rod bolts just got in today. Apparently quadratec didn't have all of them to send to me, and that is was took so long. I'll be taking them to the machine shop to be put on the connecting rods on monday.

Alright, its been a while but I havent gotten much accomplished in the past month. I did manage to find a 2bbl intake for $75. As a bonus the guy threw in the exhaust manifold as well. Pretty cheap compared to what I found on ebay. Couldnt even find one at any of the local junk yards. I found...

If anyone is doing a full rebuild like I am, let me know. I have found a pretty good machine shop and I have been trying to get some good, reliable sources around the Jackson area. I found a place that will strip, ecoat, and/or power coat frames and bodies as well as some miscellaneous parts...

While I am waiting for some more parts to come in, I am looking for others and gathering information. I have always been told that when rebuilding an engine to replace the head bolts. I have only found one source for head bolts and that is summit racing. $62 for the lot. Just bought new push...

Me too. But, in the long run it is worth it. Ecoat gets in every crevice, nook, and cranny on the body and protects from rust.
