The build continues!

[Warthog]

Well thought I’d post on my builds. Been rebuilding restoring and renovating an mj, xj, and a yj. Took last year off for various reasons but back to the cut. Got pistons in for the 283 that’s goin in the yj, got pistons in for the small journal 327 goin in the xj. Hoping i can get by with a standard bore on the large journal 327 goin in the mj. Waiting to ensure the small journal pans then will be attacking the big journal 327. The small journal was already punched .030 over. Punching the 283 .030 for valve clearance. Doin roller so that with bigger valves larger can better to be safe than sorry. Plus not sure what I’ll find when I crack the heads. All engines have aluminum heads 2.02 1.60 valves, whatever the common edelbrock intake the performer I think, quadrajet block hugger headers and a came for the job I want each vehical to do. Compression round 10:1. Hei for fire and I guess that’s about it. Should tag some good numbers. Jury is still out on the tranny. Was gonna go with an ax15 and had several, but figured why do bunch of adapters and why not full gm drivetrain. I know old school Chevy pretty well so stick with what you know. Regeared and spartanized my fronts! My own made up turn. Don’t have enough faith in myself for the rears so got someone doin that for me. Super 35 regeared and yukonized! Carpet sound deadner done. Door panels and sunvisors done. Headliner is eh… gonna try some trimming but it’s there. Made it all out of tool boxes I got free. Gonna start to upload some pics and before during and afters if anyone cares to see or know how I did what. Any advice as always is welcomed. Stay safe people!
