I am hoping this works...

David sent me a pic of what the Jeep looked like the day he brought it home. A lot of people said, oh man that looked cool when you brought it home. The only thing was that it had old real estate signs for the floor and chicken wire holding things together. The wiring had been "worked on" and none of the lights worked. It took 5 years to find parts, had a custom bumper made with a wench in it for off roading, and then we had a custom soft top made. It was a blast driving it. Just not enough time.

Sounds like a great find. You just never know what you will find where.

Thumbs up

Glad I could help. I would have no problem using those parts in a high performance build. Use quality fasteners, spend extra time getting all of the tolerances right, and pay attention to detail with the oiling. It will make a great 400+ HP engine for street car. What casting # are the cylinder heads?
