Yep, that's the plan. I learned from my mistakes on the first go around. I'm going through both axles and rebuilding them. I'm doing some extensive frame and tub work while the old drivetrain is out...

Pics of stuff stocked up, build is underway...

Picked up 1 tons and t-case from Ft. Worth today. Also picked up the adapter for my carb/intake the other day.
On lunch break so I gotta make this quick.
Creighton- I decided not to go with fuel injection because of costs and all the little odds and ends with sensors, wiring, program, etc... The intake is...
Yeah I was pretty skeptical about it when I was over there a few weeks ago and talked with a couple guys. They brought up several benefits and good points about better fuel delivery at lower rpm's...
Got the 383 finished up and hauled it home to Conroe. I went by Smiley's to pick up some stuff that I needed to get it setup how I want. While I was standing at the counter I turned and noticed a...
More 383 pics... I'll have it finished on wednesday.

I started taking the windshield off awhile back then ended up snapping a couple of the old rusted torx heads on the hinges and just left it alone. I've had plenty of other more important odds and...
I got em' from a cool dude. :gigem:
I remember you telling me about fastening them with some nice looking hardware like torx heads. I'm going to do that and make it look clean once I add some...
I got them from Scott a long time ago. He told me that a friend of his made them and that he had intended to use them on Lynda's CJ but they were too short (made for a CJ-5). I had to notch them with...
The Jeep's as ready as it will get for TCC. Fuel cell is in, fuel lines, rear shock mounts welded in, and rock sliders welded on for now. In time I will clean them up by bolting them on with torx...
More work done today.

Here's a couple pics of my block after I got it back from being bored and the good's. I painted it silver for a different look than the standard black or chevy orange.

Made some "adjustable" rear shock tower tabs, need to weld them on. Also got the fittings I needed for my fuel cell, it's in and ready to go.
Wait a minute! You're no Duke Boy either using water as an aid. I think Creighton's burnout should be void as well since he used a compact car spare tire. Smokin' 38"x15.50"s with a 4.2 is a little...
Wrong... It's all pavement up to the grass, the "dirt" you're seeing is just leaves, gravel, etc. I will admit they were small burnouts, but having my mom take pics of it made it cool. I would've...
I do what I can... It wasn't a Ranger or Caprice burnout though.:gigem:
The 2nd and 3rd pics were from the first burnout but my mom wasn't satisfied, (hence the previous burnout marks leading to...
I went home this afternoon to see my mom and help with a couple things around the farm. While I was there I cleaned around in the shop and pulled the Jeep off the trailer and took it for a spin down...
Pulled the th350 and 203 from the frame as well as the springs and other things I plan to sell off or reuse. Chopped the frame and the rest up with the plasma, made some pretty designs in the...
Makes sense, even with the new rear part of the cage I'll be doing there won't be all that much room. The main reason for doing it would be for tire clearance at full flex. But I'm making some new...
I guess I really wouldn't call it dovetailing. Basically I'm going to start the bend at the b-pillar then bring the corner of the rear fender to where the corner of the tailgate/tub meets. If you...
I sent my sbc block out this past monday to be bored and honed. I'll be ordering my 383 kit within the next couple of days and should get the block back next monday.
I'll most likely head home...
pm'd you.
That's the basic price range from what I found for the d20. Sam's offroad has them for around 6 bills which is close to the d300 kit. The whole idea of going with the doubler is so I don't have to...
