    Frankenstein yj

    3/4 of the way through the Frankenstein project. a Dodge 360 of the 1979 era sits nicely between the frame rails pushing a tf 727 and coupled to a np207 thanks to some re-drilling of the adapter. I set the motor low in the frame in anticipation of the SOA (next project 8) ) I scarfed the shifter...

    Headers w/ AMC 360

    had Heddman fenderwell headers on my 77 cj with 304 and it was very basic install. you need to cut some of the inner fender away but its very easy to do. then the mufflers need to have a flange welded on to bolt up to the header. it doesnt need hangers or anything so its just collector to flange...

    Carb upgrade..

    you need to work the linkage a bit but it was easy to do. i just used a l bracket that was in the drawer to change the angle from rear pull to down pull and put a pivot pc on the end. everything worked the 1st time out so i say go for it and you'll never look back to the carter again.

    Durabak liner ????

    i used grizzly grip on my sons 93 wrangler inside and out and its great. lots of colors to choose from and products to keep it shiny ( i like the dull) he went brite red with white hinges and all. the whole thing was way easier than regular car paint. check out their web site !

    Another overheating issue!

    Check your water pump...try running without the stat just to make sure it works ? did the heater blow hot air ? check what the oil looks like to rule out head gasket failure.timing issues can cause over heat as well....just throwing things out there , good luck !

    soft top UV protection

    believe it or not the best and cheapest is good old lemon pledge. spray it on thick and rub it in .It will shine and soften it up nice. works on the plastic windows too.
