Wasn't there a Jeep in here?


The frame came off today and now I am at a standstill until I can get some new u-bolts, after that it starts going back together!

New Engine


Thanks to Bob for selling me this clean 258 with all the trimmings! I plan on using my 241 head (cleaned, decked and Valves reseated/ground) on this block as it is said to add 40hp. along with the multi-port fuel injection I can expect around 190-200hp. Here is a link to the procedure I plan to follow.

how could a stock Jeep have the living *@%$ beat out of it?


I took off my Head to put a new Head gasket on while I had everything tore down and out of the way only to realize that my engine had been bored 50 over and had concerning slop between the piston and cylinder. “Aww Shit” was an understatement. Looks like a new engine is at the top of my parts list.
