Still in the garage at the moment, the heat has kept me out for the most part. A few other things tying up some of my time and money too. I did pick up a Half cab, CJ doors and a lot of small parts off of an 85 Scrambler that a local guy was selling. Got some good deals there. The 95+ degrees...

Very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Thoughts and Prayers to you and your family. It's not easy losing a parent. Hang in there.

Why arent you sticking with the LS1?

Not expecting to have to move it, But worse case scenario yeah, I could move it forward or back.. Pulling mesurements from my CJ7 with LS1. things look right on.

So far they are looking good, I removed the weather stripping at the moment. I may have to go with something a little thinner. It only seems thick at the dash. I'll get some pics later.

I used Novak mounts. they bolt in. You can leave them just bolted in or weld them. I decided to go ahead and do both. They have done all the hard work ahead of time. https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/engine-mounts/mmcj-g3/

Scored a set of TJ doors for $200 this week. I am going to use them instead of the CJ doors I have. Initial fitment is looking good. I bought some TJ latches off ebay. I'll have to fab up a mount for them.

Was able to do a little work this week. 4 of the 6 holes for the Trans cross member were un-usable. So I installed Nut serts in the frame. That was fun! Once I got that in I flipped the frame over and got the Engine and trans in to see what was needed to make it fit. I have a trans mount on the...

Thanks, I plan on keeping the 5 on 5.5 I'll get pics when I build up this 44. That should be soon, I most of the parts.

My frame needed some love so I ordered some parts from M.O.R.E.. Very BEEFY! I had a friend do the welding for me. He replaced a few body mounts, and the two body mount crossmembers in the rear. It looked like dirt/mud had been sitting on the mounts holding in moisture and salt from the roads...

A lot test fitting going on here with this tub. .

Spent some time over the past couple weeks cleaning up rusty brackets and getting them into primer. This has been fun and i mean that in a very sarcastic way. I know, it could be worse. But all kidding aside it is strangely satisfying.

I took the time to fit the OMIX fender flares. the rears were a bear to get to fit right and also had to be trimmed.

As most of you, i am always looking for Jeep stuff to buy. well one day on one of the FB Jeep groups. A set of axles appeared that fit the direction I was wanting to go. It was a Early Bronco 9inch and a shortened to CJ width K10 Dana 44. The price was right at $450 for the pair so I made them...

So some time passed while I made the move from one house to another and slowly but surely over the course of 6 months I got most things squared away enough to bring the Scrambler to the house. This of course was a fun few days of running loads from storage to home all while making it to work on...

I at first chose to keep the AX-15 that came with the Scrambler. But with my CJ7 having an LS1 AX-15 combo mated to the Dana 300 with a 4 to 1 kit, I changed my mind. I unfortunately had already purchased an Advance adapter to mate the AX-15 to a Dana 300. I put it and the transmission up for...

I pulled it apart and surveyed what was usable and to decide how much i wanted to do to it. Well, I got it down to the frame and decided I was going to do a full cleanup and toss in an LS. My 7 has an LS1 so i know how much fun it can be. I picked up a nice 5.3 from a Tahoe with 140K on it for...

There is a few steps between these two pics, but you get the point. I pulled the engine and whole front clip. cut or broke all the rusted body bolts off and pulled the body off with a cherry picker and patience.

It was kind of drivable with some work on the brakes, transfer case and front axle rebuild. The PO had put a 4.0 out of a Cherokee in it. I have a CJ7 that I drive so the need to drive a Jeep is met. The Scrambler tub was extremely rotted. I know there are people out there that say everything...
