Ok, even though it was against popular opinion, I sold the rover a few weeks ago for a few reasons and decided to work on the jeep. Only been able to work on it for a week so far but we got an edelbrock cam, lifters, timing chain, edelbrock intake manifold, holley 470 carb, holley fuel pump (electric), and a few other pieces on and got the engine running. Oh yea, we also took off over half the vacuum lines for the smog crap. The thing sounds great with that cam. here are a few pics of the progress so far:

before everything:




new seats (late model sebring vert)


The new stuff:




after the engine work:



and as it sits now:



Should be getting the 6" ift in on thursday this coming week. Still need to make mounts for the seats then put them in, finish up tuning the engine, get a taurus fan, put the new weatherstripping in, get some sort of insulation for the floor (any suggestions?) and hopefully mount the cd player.

I decided to go with the 6" all spring lift instead of the SOA/shackel flip because of time and money. The SOA comes out to more after the high-steer setup and stock springs (the ones on their now are completely shot)
