Im just wondering how long that 10 bolts gonna hang out up front. Looking over the pics from when you got it i can see the issues you were and are going to have - it was a bit on the "booty-fab" side.

If you get a chance snap some pics of that rear suspension - looks VERY interesting.

The 10 bolt should be just fine up front unless I crack it on something hard. Same as a D44.

As for the rear suspension, Google 1/4 elliptical rear suspension.

Got in some goodies yesterday. One of those was this 12 gallon fuel cell.

So today I fabbed up a little cradle for it. Straps are just temporary for now.

Another weekend of working on the Jeep. I thought I would have had it running, if it weren't for the original builder not paying attention to where he welded in the motor mount perches. The driver side one is 3/4" farther back than the passenger causing my nice headers not to be able to bolt up on the driver side. What a shame. So I ordered some old school SBC Ram Horn manifolds which were exactly what was on the old engine I pulled out of it.
If I would have known how much those things were worth, I would have kept them off the old engine!

SO, here are just a couple picture updates. A lot done, but still a lot to do.

Passenger side header bolted up just perfect.

Too bad I had to take them off. I still need to get some connectors for those ground wires before I try to fire the engine.

Put the radiator back in. I want to find some different brackets for mounting the top (Not sure why the original guy did it this way.) I also need to build a cross bracket for the bottom of the radiator too. He had some crappy thin metal tabs tack welded to the frame then screwed them into the radiator on the bottom. They broke right off when I tugged on the radiator when I first pulled it.

Once I figure out how I want to mount the fuse box I'll remove it from here, but it is in a good position for now.

I installed an original (new) firewall battery mount bracket, and an A/C Delete pulley. I am going to have to get a side terminal battery it looks like, due to the cables from the engine. I put some top post adapters on, but they aren't long enough to reach the posts.
Also this is after I took the headers off.

Fuel system return line. I guess I'll find out if it works or not once I try to get it started!

Also ran the hoses for the fuel system, and installed a pre-filter and an after filter with the inline electronic 14psi 140gph fuel pump in the middle. I thought I had a picture of it, but I guess I don't.

Until next time!
