So what is the plan for the old girl?

 

[greygoose]

is this like picture charades?

I love this thread! I can't help but be intrigued by you pile of parts shown and zero description lol.


I'm guessing some form of hillbilly dune buggy or sand drag car in the works with the 4 banger version of a ford 460 (OMC470) and T5?

My guess as well.

This thread is like watching a silent film... I can start off viewing it with good intentions, but by the time I'm half way through I've lost interest...

Change is not always bad but it is always hard for the older folks. :teehee:


RBB:usa:

I'm only 36.

1946 cj2a dubbed mary jane

3.7l mercruiser with a t5

Cj5 dana 44 rear
Dana 35 converted into a beam from axle (removed pig)

Coilovers in front

Airbags in rear

305/65r17 in back and 30x9.5 in front

Also going to be making some beadlocks for the sprint car tires to swap onto the rear for dooones



Assuming i like everything, plan to hop up the merc in the future and shave weight on the engine. Aluminum bbf head shaves around 30#.

Figure i can drop about 20 off the rotating mass.

The secondary vibration from the pistons have me a bit worried to push too much power.


Just wrapped up the rear axle last night. Going to start putting the drivetrain together and prepping the front axle

That's a really cool build!! I like that you are using the 3.7L. That's a really unique engine. (Ford 460 head, pistons, and connecting rods)

:woot: Very cool!

 

[greygoose]

:rock: Awesome!

I like the urinal in the garage too. :teehee:

 

[greygoose]

That's crazy the size difference on the starter!

Nice work so far!

Picked up a 4 barrel intake. Mocked up distributor.

Waiting on gaskets. Got the new bolt pattern drilled and tapped in the bellhousing. Going to put set screws in the old pattern

4 Barrel huh? What are you thinking? 450cfm?

 

[greygoose]

So this is what you were describing at the DU banquet!

I like it...

Ducks Unlimited? Nice!

It's still progress! :thumb:

 

[greygoose]

:woot: Awesome progress! Keep up the good work.

Congrats on the baby! I was wondering as I scrolled through this thread if I would see more progress or a baby picture. :sonicjay:
