This is the farthest I've ever gone into a motor, how hard is it to change the timing chain? And good write up or a good brand I should go with? Thanks

Damn its been over a month since i last updated my build, Sadly not much progress has been made, but have ordered alot of parts for her. Havent been able to work on the comanche due to the weather and having a tenant living above the garage lol Curently working on a few projects at the girls house Picked up a later xj dana 30 from a 99 All the unwanted/garbage parts in a pile Started to grind down the passenger side Will hopefully finish grinding her down tomarrow, then a fresh coat of paint and the upgrades and installs come stay tuned :popcorn: Previous toal- $2006.20 Dana 30 axle - work perk :) New total - $2006.20

The pacesetter headers are on and fit good, haven't had any luck with an egr tube, I tried to bend the original one and cracked it, think I might bend one out of copper Motors still on the stand so cannot say ow the headers sound yet

I work at a jy so I always get the jy prices which are usually a lot cheaper, I'm going to give them a call tomarrow and see ow much they want for everything Will keep posted

Thanks for the response, I've been searching for awhile for some info. I'm going to order them tomarrow and post my results when I get them Thanks

Anyone know the interchange for the seatbelts? I'm in the process of redoing my interior and found a good deal on a set of 1986 black ones. My trucks a 1990 Thanks and any info or tips would be appreciated

Digging the yellow and the super bee logos

Damn I didn't even get to put mine in as it jumped a lot within the last 10 seconds

Have little over a foot over here on Long Island (Suffolk) will post some pics in the am ;)

It's coming along good, what brand undercoating did you decide to use on the frame?

Hey I bought the set off eBay for $100, they have really good reviews Here's the link and ask him for a jeep forum discount http://www.ebay.com/itm/Upgrade-1987-1990-Jeep-Wagoneer-4-0L-Fuel-Injectors-/281060592437?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AJeep&hash=item4170844b35&_uhb=1

Engine is pretty much done for now, Just need an egr, cap & rotor, and an egr tube. Started to prep the engine bay for paint, Would have been easier if i knew how to disconnect all the harness that go into the firewall Think i might need some new motor mounts, what do you think lol And some more engine bay pics Weather permitting next weekend i will start to paint the engine bay, and monstaline the frame and under carriage Stay tuned :popcorn:

Working on bending the pipe to fit my headers, or use some hight heat hose as a last resort. I'm looking for the valve Thought about eliminating it completely but have read that the motor will run like crap without it Yeah I can get an inspection with or without it

Up to $9200 less then 19 hrs left

I hear ya deffently a gamble, but the owner i bought it from was pretty on the money as far as what was wrong with the jeep, so i have my fingers crossed

Starting to clean up the motor one side at a time, Got the intake and exhaust manifold pulled ( to my suprise all the bolts came out very easy ) Knew the exhaust manifold was cracked and prevously welded a few times Time for an upgrade, picked up some pacesetter headers off ebay a few months back for $147.50 shipped Quick coat of paint since they had some paint chips from being moved around. ( also painted the motor mount ) Cleaned and painted the intake manifold and heat shield Block after a cleaning and some paint Throttle cable bracket cleaned and painted as well Painted the bolts and will have to swap the washers with the new ones that came with the headers ( forgot all about them till i called it a day ) Shinned up the brass fittings with a wire wheel Exhaust mocked up Image Not Found All assembled Image Not Found Image Not Found Hopefully i can find a good egr tomarrow from the jy, Apparently the egr tube needs to be modified to fit the headers, its off by a solid 5/8 and need to get the one bolt in behind tube 4. Think i will try to grind it down some Previous total - $1365 Headers $147.50 Cost to date- $1512.50

Thanks I've been debating on doing a floor shift swap, but kind of like the old school column shift lol

Been awhile since ive updated my build, Stripped the front end of its sheet metal 2 weeks ago, and Finally made some real progress last weekend and got the engine pulled, figured it would be easier to replace the exhaust manifold, motor mounts ect and paint the engine bay with the engine out the way. First time pulling a motor and it went fairly good with a few broken items but nothing too major Gave the engine a quick bath and who would have knew my block is blue lol Been a little nervous putting all this time and money into this engine that i never head run since the trans was in the bed when i bought it. Takes a small edge off of things knowing it was rebuild at sometime And the engine bay after a pressure wash Tomarrow i will start on replacing gaskets and some engine goodies :) more pictures to come tomarrow
