my mopar 360/727 swap is purring like a bear (lol open manifolds ) everything is bolted up and just waiting for me to fab a set of downpipes for the exhaust. then a pre-road bolt check and snip the last few leftover wires that are hanging around and were back in the saddle . had some leaks in the oil sender line from a scuffed fitting ( one of the 5 times the motor went in an out for fitments) iol pressure is 40 at idle all though i havn't let it run long enough to get hot yet . the t-case and transmission gaskets are all dry and the gas gauge works so what more can i ask ! took out the column shifter and mounted a nicer looking tach and mounted a cherokee console and cable shifter that looks sooooo much better ! took some dremmel work to remove the t-case lever pocket for the cherokee and keep my 87 t-case shifter boot and all. i'm going to use the little change dent for my off road lite switch panel. i picked up a trio set of gauges at a garage sale for $5,00 and cut out the top tray above the shifter to mount the chrome plate. I hate chrome but there it is anyway. i hope to have the pics posted soon as i get enough time to sort them . I'll miss my "done " date by a week or two , but i was close to a 4th of july goal ! If i could just buy the 79 dodge crossover that came on the truck it would be a snap , but i guess i'm going pc by pc and welding it up.Attachments
