It\'s ALIVE!!!!!

Did my favorite part of any engine project a couple of hours ago:


My CJ's alive again!! She's got a new head gasket, new rear main seal, and a fresh valve job, so she's a happy camper right now - Time to go wheelin'!


My dad let me use his shop, so she's had a great home the last few days.

Re: It\'s ALIVE!!!!!

You better believe it. I wanted to smack my uncle in the head when he put an LT1 in his '40 Ford 2 door sedan. He had 3 perfectly good flatheads on chassis w/full running gear sitting next to his shoparage. Ah well it's his money. Just gets kinda old lookin at SBC's under the hood of every rod at the shows and on tv.

Re: It\'s ALIVE!!!!!

I hear ya. Seems like everyone and his dog builds a rod with a SBC in it. How about a Ford engine in a Ford car, or a Chrysler in a Chrysler? Now that's a novel idea. /wwwthreads_images/icons/wink.gif And what's with all the automatics? Let's see some more "row-your-own" tranny's out there.
