89 MJ

I’m hoping the warmer weathers hangs in there for a while

Looking very good! That blue really pops in the sun

And that would explain the WI assigned VIN in the door jamb.

Got the link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/MoY2APBNYw7rcuM6/?mibextid=79PoIi

It showed back up in my feed. I tagged you in the comments. I should’ve grabbed the link off of the post

Oh yeah, it got my attention. Glad it was an easy fix with no real damage.

That’s brave. Glad you got it done though.

So I'm working on a school project and I remembered something that I never mentioned here. Two days before I left for school, when I should have been packing, I had to clear a couple of dead branches at home. When I turned the tractor off because we had company (actually was Grandpa Jim's, who I inherited the tractor from, daughter and grandson), the key switch shorted out and caught fire. Thankfully no damage was done, but I did end up spending the afternoon repairing the wiring and replacing the key switch.

That’ll be really cool on there. Looking forward to this

What kind of supercharger are you going with? I’m excited

Gotcha. That makes more sense haha

You shouldn’t need to drop the whole trans. Should only need to drop the pan. I’d throw a new filter in there too while you’re at it. Here’s a thread on changing the kick down cable. https://naxja.org/threads/kickdown-cable-issue.1109877/ I don’t think that the transmission rebuild will cost $400 either, unless you’re doing it yourself.

Glad you're back! That color is super cool. Why the 258 cam?

Some FWD GM engines had different bellhousing bolt patterns despite being the same engine also. Just something else to be sure of.

They did have quite a few of them. 2 that were damaged beyond repair (I think they were the Mallet Hammer and the 1.5 millionth) plus the black 62 pictured and the Blue Devil ZR1 pictured. I think there might’ve been one more on display too. Maybe the millionth was the last one.

My family went there in July of 2024 and we were there before that in 2014. If you’ve never been there, it’s worth going. I’d be lying if I said I don’t want a Corvette. Specifically, a 68-72 Corvette. The green one in the last picture would be perfect.

5 pages is far too many for me to look through, so I don't know. But here's the link for anyone else interested. https://www.youtube.com/@LowBuckGarage It's a good channel that does a lot of older Jeep/4x4 stuff on a budget.

I never posted finished pics of the engine swap. That’s disappointing.

This is the way campers should be. I like the plan you’ve got going.

The front driveshafts do not have a slip yoke, so you’ll have to pull the four bolts at the axle and the other four bolts at the transfer case.

I've heard it too

Ohhhh yeah! This is going to be a good build.

I would think it should be the same. I’ve got the old valve cover on a 96 engine. I’m guessing I ordered the gasket for an 89, but I don’t remember.

Also those Sportruck stripes were only available until 1990. The 91-92 stripes were the “squiggle” stripes.

Glad to help before it got expensive. I agree, the Pioneer stripes are too similar in color.
