Daaaaaamn, my breakfast banana suddenly looks completely inadequate.

All the matches were sent out! Let's get it on!

The Holley IAT sensor is set up for too large an NPT thread, there's no bung in the intake that large. I didn't realize this until now that I have the intake installed and (hopefully) sealed up. Rather than all the work to remove it, drill/tap it, clean it, reinstall it, @Rusty6 searched to find...

Oh yeah, that's a 258 block plate, not a 4.0. There's no way that any of these 4.0 block plates will put the mount in the right location @CJ8Rockcrawler

Something seems way off on these… the through bolt on my mount is a good bit below the oil pan. Their mount has it way above it. Looked through all of the different 4.0 block plates they have (XJ, YJ, TJ) and all of them look to have the through bolt way too high unless I have to change out the...

100,000% do exactly what you want with it! Do NOT worry about rarity! I'm in the middle of yet another major modification on a 1-of-230 Scrambler :smokin: :bacon: :woot: Make it yours and do whatever you want. And it's no trouble at all :cheers:

@CJ8Rockcrawler is this what they were talking about then? https://www.extremeterrain.com/more-bomb-proof-engine-block-brackets-0006-40l-tj.html I sent them (M.O.R.E) an email about my setup, I don't see why these wouldn't mount up to what I have since I'm using the stock block plates already...

What he said. You aren't going to get a count of how many others there are, those records don't exist. What you can get is comments on whatever you show us and we do love photos around here! Not trying to be negative, just honest. AMC simply didn't keep the records you're after.

As I said, lots of bourbon ago :rotfl:

Been there. It was fun but this will stay all motor and nothing more.

You get a bonus day to enter, I'll need to do assignments tomorrow night, working tonight.

I remember that it's metric, not that I had to drill the mount, but it's been a long time and a lot of bourbon ago. I simply pulled what was on my 4.0 and put them on this.

It was on the thread here, don't remember.

Never came across anything like that. I used whatever I had for the 4.0. I don’t remember drilling anything out. (Yes, I know there's a metric bolt, but I thought it was just a thread difference, I don't recall having to drill for it.) Got a link? What alternative would there be?

Looks a mess but it’s a TON of progress thanks to @Rusty6

Irrelevant how rare anyway. It’s not going to be worth anything much more than another trim level with an engine swap and higher miles in similar condition. CJs are not Camaros or Corvettes and aren’t collectible and valuable outside of the low mile survivor like I mentioned. Build one “new”...

Hope to have assignments tonight. If anyone needs to sneak in today, go for it. :christmas:

Long weekend of work on the postal thanks to Steve aka @Rusty6 who came up to lend a hand. Manifolds installed with a Newcomer Racing reusable copper gasket and stainless stud washer kit minus one bolt where the header hit. Injectors in. Fuel system tested and weeping plugs in the regulator...

Today’s the last day!!!

What??
