[QUOTE="RangerRick, post: 435077, member: 19360"] Haven't posted in a while but I have begun moving forward again on this project. Ordered some pre-fab'd and welded up Cummins to CJ motor mounts last week Ordered the pilot bearing for the transmission Ordered the heim joint for the master cylinder conversion on the clutch Getting ready to order the full hydraulic clutch kit with pre-bled master and slave. Going to possibly get kevlar friction disc for better wear and grip. Also replacing all the bellhousing bolts with new grade 8. Freshened up the transmission and will be doing some transfer case work that I will document in the build. Working on cleaning out the garage to get the Jeep back inside also searching for the hardware that was removed from it when the fenders and front grill were removed. Also looking for the belly pan skid bolts etc. It's hard when you've moved and everything is all disorganized. I am getting the old engine crane painted and resealed up. I've had it for 32 or more years and it's been good to me over many engine swaps and hot rod builds in my youth. It's almost as old as the Jeep itself. In less than a year and a half my Jeep will officially be 40 years old........ Where has the time gone? I can remember wheeling back in the day when the CB was your social media platform and there were a LOT more miles of off-road trails that were open to the public than today around here. It hasn't been registered or on the road for more than a couple days in the last 22.5 years. Welp, back to work in the garage I go... RR [/QUOTE]
