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?

Dumb question(s).

Mary Jane seems cool, but why not finish the Kernel first? It seems like Marry Jane is more of a dune rig while the Kernel will be more like a crawler?

Regardless, the progress looks great.

The kernel is a build it once, build it right. I have quite a bit of investment in parts to go to get the kernel built.

There was a promise that I'd get to have a jeep on the road before there's a baby in the house. Mary Jane is inevitably a cheaper build that I'm hoping to just enjoy. (There is an expectation to go through the motor and hop it up at a later date).

I have my firstborn due at the end of October, so I'm plugging away at this because it doesn't need to be perfect to enjoy it, whereas I don't want to go through 8 revisions to the kernel to get it right.

Mary Jane is a mainly street/dune rig. I'll do whatever I want to with the 2wd locker bit, but just want to have fun. Kernel is going to be an all around rig to conquer all of michigan.
