- 1986 cj7 in the works,
1996 F350 crew cab with a 5.9 cummins
It's time for a build thread Im thinking. Been working on my new to me 86 CJ7 my plan was to install a " rebuilt " 258 I picked up in December long story short I pulled the head off to install a 4.0 head and found that the motor was Worn out. Ok on to what I'm planing with this jeep. ( I will be driving to work and back after motor and tans is installed ) I'll start with the motor, building and rebuilding, installing 4.0 head, running Howells fuel injection, next thing is fix the rust and stress cracks in body. Clean frame repaint, transmission I will install the t5 latter I will be installing a t18 with my Dana 300 that will be twin sticked. Axles have 3.31 gearing, front is open diff, rear is a Dana 44, Ive been trying to decide between eton elockers or ARB lockers. When I buy lockers I will be regearing to 4.10 gears.
