Picked up the Jeep

[displacedtexan]

78 DJ5F Mail Jeep, very little rust, all lights/windows are good, no significant dents in the body.

Now to find a 4BT...

 

[Chevycummins]

that thing is gonna be sweet. :rockwoot: whats your plans as far as the motor and mods and trans?

 

[displacedtexan]

Prob a TH400 tranny, and gonna start with just some basic pump mods (and prob injectors) and see how it does. I'm shooting for 12s, and the thing is light as heck!

 

[displacedtexan]

And it's gonna be a DD

For the wife

If you change the paint or body at all I will kick you in the nads. That thing is f'n sweet. Good find.

 

[displacedtexan]

It's gonna get painted a light yellow, and get some smaller side mirrors and that's it for the exterior. We are actually gonna try to match a faded pale yellow just with a good finish to it if that makes sense.

Well, obviously new tires and rims

 

[ride42]

Should look good.

 

[Billysgoat]

Go with an OD tranny, the 47RH would be just about as simple to install as a 400 and give you that extra gear. If you are gonna drag it or drive it you'll need it!

 

[Chevycummins]

with as light as this this probably is it should scoot right along with no prob :evil and get some pretty good fuel mileage :rockwoot:
