Sheck44 I can't believe you waited more than a month to open that crate! I realize you said it initially wasn't at your place but crate engines don't show up for me every day. I would have had greasy paw prints and drool all over it from day one even if I had to leave work early to do it!

You have far more self control than I do. Do fresh chocolate chip cookies go bad at your house too?

It is also getting the following ...
NV4500 tranny
60 Series split case
Full OME suspension with reverse shackle kit

You doing the Birfields yourself? Upgrade on the shafts and joints?


Lemme know how tricky they are to rebuild.

No Jeff, my mechanic is doing this work, I'm there every afternoon helping out where I can ... and watching and learning. Keeping shafts, these are built like tanks so we will see ... we made some good progress today

awesome build(s)! I had an '84 FJ60 and 3 FZJ80s.

That Holley high ram probably isn't the best choice for an intake... especially below 5000rpm. http://www.hotrod.com/articles/20-ls...ifolds-tested/

Very curious to see how the Cummins 2.8 turns out. Read lots about them.
