I've seen them on Ebay too at various prices... have you used them?

A couple quick possibilities to check... Are you certain the engine block has a good ground to the frame/battery negative post? (Just wondering if the ground strap was installed when the engine swap was done) Alternators have to be "excited" to create output voltage, some are self-excited...

@bigwalton Should this be archived in one of the Tech Libraries :shrug:

That looks like a fantastic trip. Any things you might add to your equipment/supplies for future trips?

Gotcha, I assumed the existing panel was 200 amp by the size of the enclosure (panel) and the conduit feeding it. Thanks for the link, (should have remembered it), love the "tugger". :thumbsup:

Are you planning on installing a sub panel off the existing panel, or a new feed-thru main panel where the the existing service comes in?

What did you do for prep (besides the pressure washing) before the primer coat? Looking really nice. Thanks for the pics of all the products. :cheers:

Well I just spent way too much time going down rabbit holes over your latest acquisition. :rolleyes: Now I know how it works and how to rebuild one. Okay, maybe not rebuild but found a very good resource for rebuilding transmissions👍.

Here is some information that may be pertinent to your situation. One is a YouTube video by M.O.R.E for the installation of their kit, the other is the install instructions with pics. They both have some information on shackle location and angles for their product that may be of help...

Two weeks... they could be without you AND a working forklift :evil:

New ride.

Just my :twocents:... It appears you already have shackles, and the sleeve locations through the frame are already determined. Why not just install what you have and once you have the frame fully loaded you can determine which way to go, swapping to boomerang shackles if needed should be a...

Yeah we had both a propane and a battery (lead acid) powered fork lift, the battery powered one could out lift the propane due to the added battery weight.

My stock '83 is 43-1/4" from center to center of bolt holes in each mount

J-B Weld makes a lot of different material specific products now (compared to the old days), maybe contact them with the info you have and they could point you in the right direction. Someone at one time recommended the J-B Weld PlasticWeld for a plenum but I'm unsure if they had actually used it.

How badly damaged is it? Here is a post with some info: https://www.cj-8.com/threads/heater-box-repair.53052/#post-467121

Here's a post from years ago with some good info and members that had done an Hemi. https://www.cj-8.com/threads/jeep-hemi.6373/ Also, if you search "Hemi" and under member put "rubclt" you can find his two build threads. Tread carefully or you may get in deeper than you originally intended...
