Alaskan Postal Scrambler advice needed

An odd little sidenote.....

If you recall 6 months ago, (after a previous 6 month process), I bought this jeep with a blown motor from a retired postmaster named Stanley with alzheimers. He told me at the time that it was going to cost too much to fix the jeep and since he wouldn't do it, he wanted it to go to someone that would fix it up and enjoy it.

It's now been a year since this process started and I got a call this week from the shop owner that did all of Stanley's maintenance work and he tells me that Stanley called them and told them to give me the rebuilt engine that he had stashed at the shop. Huh?

Anyway, I made a run to northern AZ and will pick up the free engine in the morning. lol

:eek: :huh: :woot:
 
Turns out the engine was rebuilt with new crank, cam and pistons.......6 years ago lol

It was outside in a boneyard pile but it was covered for the most part. It turns over by hand and it's clean.


The shop owner is retiring and moving everything out. The red box in the front of the bed is a battery charger he threw in for grins. Free stuff looks good in the back of the truck. lol


Here's the original sign he made up and put in the jeep widow to sell at his garage sale.
 
Thats a cool find .. keep the sign for the paper work binder..

I'm on my way.. I'll give you your asking price of $500. :fingerscrossed: :D
 
I need some advice on the set of used headers I bought recently for the 360 install. The pic shows a distinctly smaller port on the header compared to the stock exhaust manifold on the bottom. They are 1 5/8 tubes (which is recommended for better low end torque) but it seems to me that I'm defeating the purpose of even having headers if I'm pinching 1 3/4 head port size down to 1 5/8 header port size right off the bat. I spoke with Hedman yesterday and they confirm that 1 5/8 tube size equals 1 5/8 port size. I understand backpressure and stepping tube size up or down but mismatching at the head seems odd. Anyone have experience with this???

 
BTW, how do I keep from getting logged off after just a few minutes when I'm trying to post a message. I'm a very slow typist and I lose my message before I can post it. lol
