Well a couple bloody of knuckles, a couple cuss words and a few Heinekens and I got her all stuffed back together.......

Ha ha Ira had a good point, they have to be put down!

taz, check out TJ's Jeep. A great example of a v6 Jeep! Tricked out everywhere. I cant imagine the kind of power that a V6 puts into a little CJ....

A picture from the Ira project - a Jeep in combat.

Finding the right shop is the key to this. Our late friend Ira had a shop tell him the radiator on his M38A1 was too far gone to fix and he ended up...

Az, attracted by the "Bling"? I gotta tell you that was a sweet looking tach you had! I like the recall features. And indicator lights. Great way to...

Amazing how long they last when there not in combat!

dgn, that sounds like a good plan to me. I doubt anything got into the motor. I would bet the "various nests" were installed after it had been...

That’s no lie Bob,, your engineers at Dana/Spicer must of laid awake at night designing transmissions. My Western Star Dump has a 18 speed in it and...

Welcome taz and Thank You for your service. Sounds like your wife is a good shopper!!! That thing is NICE!!! Mine had a V6 in it when I bought...

To be honest, the back flushing will help, but I would take it to a good radiator shop to be boiled out. I've seen it too many times where a good...

It is in fact white oak that was originally used in the hat channels. The down side of the wood is that it does retain water, but instead of the...

Oh I'm sure of all that business. Now that we are back on track. I despise your suggestion of a tachometer. But admire your logic that it indeed...

Welcome in? Great starter! What's the plan, man?

I remember reading that, maybe before I joined the forum. Glad to know you. In honor of our forum friend Ira, let me say is an honor and a privilege...

That's a couple of years old - Miss Amy must have run out of things to use this week....

Here is our standard advice about waking up an old vehicle: Startup Best Practices It is not unusual for folks who have just found a barn...

And just like that check out what appeared on WJL! Congratulations Larry! Nice write up man. ...

Unfortunately, I'm not yet at the point of running condition. But I believe I am close and I was told by a friend that I need to find out what the...

Thanks bmorgil. Of course, it helps to know what to do (and if everything fits) before attempting the build :-)

So, at 2,000 RPM, I need at least 20 PSI, but I should have about 35..? It might better have been called "Minimum Safe Oil Pressure at 2000 RMP" ...

Concur with White Oak, but being a Southern Boy too, I would not be adverse to using cypress if it was available. As you know, cypress is widely...

It does need to be a little more specific. The "Safe" oil pressure is indicative of "How Low it can Go" safe being clarified as do not operate below...

Hello geodoc, a diesel CJ would be just plain cool. It sounds like you need to build one and keep us posted! I enjoyed your Bio. "James S. Peet,...

You are in good shape! There isn't a tree growing through a hole in the floor and coming out the passenger window! And I hope there isn't a critter...

Cajun, I have seen that answer somewhere. I am thinking it was White Oak originally. The military specification was for "Hardwood". Maybe someone...
