pilotblake Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ok well lab report is done Still trying to catch you up to now..... Took everything out of the engine bay and primed it and painted it with a single stage polyurethane While I was at it the valve covers got a coat Not bad for a beginner painter, I have to say Rear cross member mount and clearance issue with steering stabilizer. You are caught up now. Went and got the rest of the accessories yesterday (alt., starter, and ps pump with bracket) Working on wiring harness' right now but with Senior year mechanical engineering classes time is getting short, so progress may slow up. I need pin-out diagrams of the bulk head connector for a 94 dodge ram 1500 and a 86 Comanche if anyone has them. I initially had problems with my steering stabilizer contacting the oil pan on my chevy 350, it also was close when the axle was articulated. I had to use a drop pitman arm, and do alittle re-engineering, just something to look into. Ignore all the mess, it has since been cleaned up :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeptruck86 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Awesome build so far man! I live in Mint Hill and definitely need to see this truck first hand. Keep up the good work and let us know where we can check it out once you get it fired up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91MJdude Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 ok well Ill upload some of the pics of the progress we made this weekend. here is where the wiring will lay. Tried to match the 4.0l routing. Completle dissasembled and cleaned the TB. Fuse block and Older style innerfender overflow bottle. Sorting out more wires.... Cut large hole for Transfer Case. :) 92+ washer bottle, and ECM mounted. also bolted down the valve covers and bent the dip stick tube for transmission to fit. May get locar flexible one later on.

RandysMJ Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Got any pics of the motor mounts? :D Lookin good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91MJdude Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It Runs! First time trying to crank it up, it fired right up and settled down to a nice loud idle with only a Y-Pipe made. Ignore the power steering, fluid was yucky and aerated Click here to watch video >>> http://www.supermotors.net/registry/media/772607 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

360MJDude Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Well here is an update since the once long ago post. Still open y pipe, and need fix for EGR tube (prob going to find some flexble tube and make my own) Here is the radiator and mounts with Taurs fan. Should be no problem keeping it cool like all the other guys say. Def was not wasting my money on the $500.00+ radiators on the internet. Specifically 98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 two core, currently doing heat transfer analysis at school to verify radiator sizing for fun!!!! Flow once grille is on should be comparable to grand cherokee Then the junk yard had a 99 cherokee sitting there with a new style dash so I just had to open another BUCKET of worms before one thing was done completely. I've got it installed and pictures to come later. Just need to finish the wiring, which hasnt been to bad due to some friends with Alldata.

JeepcoMJ Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 uhm... you kind of NEED that front crossmember that you cut out.... sooo now you need to figure out how to make up for not having it. especially with the power that motor will make...you really don't want to start tweaking the frame, and trust me..while that little sheet metal crossmember may not appear to do much, it IS very structural.

360MJDude Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Already got ya JeepcoMJ, i made a new cross member (stronger than the oe) remember I am going to school for mechanical engineering. Not sure about getting it muddy yet, I'm sure it will see some its a Jeep, Oh yeah I did put on a 2" spacer in the front to clear the steering, still going to make up some longer rear shackles.

360MJDude Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 well head gaskets were blown, tore it back down, both heads were cracked. Must happen to alot of magnum engines. Machine shop wanted 600 for new redesigned castings...didn't want to go that route since its almost worth more that the whole truck. Place we bought engine and trans from ended up letting us have another used set, ended up being good. so got them resurfaced, valve job and new seals. and all gaskets. finished the engine compartment (except for the intake) pvc and duck tape doesn't look to professional. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=455462623848 http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=455449713848 http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=470603668848 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaffeineSam Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Sucks to get a damaged unit, but it happens. At least the guy was fair and offered you a replacement. It does sound awesome, and this exhaust outlet out of the bumper looks wicked cool ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
