So, after quite a long time, I starting a new project.
1984 rolling tub and chassis CJ7 and a 1976 J10 Honcho
I have had my CJ for 15 years its seen a multitude of motors,(stock258, 4.0, Ford 302, built 302) now I'm doing a total overhaul....
Its going to take a long while,
The PLAN;
Revive the 360/400/quadratrac combo,
Scrap the D30/AMC20,
Install Dana44 front and rears(outbard the front springs/ new perches on rear)
Cleanup the tub(it has some cancer)
Fresh paint,
etc.......
I spent all day working the J10 into shape....starter bendix gear is chewed up. flexplate ring gear is pretty rough in spots.....going to try to get the starter repaired tomorrow, ordered a ring gear.
I think I will take the risk of chewing up the bendix gear I really wanna hear the motor run before i go to all the trouble of yanking the J10 apart.... if the 360 wont run(without a major investment) im going to scrap the j10 for cash for another idea
