FINALLY!!! A Build Thread of My '82 Scrambler!

Well I need to replace the rubber bushings on the motor mounts if I can figure out who made them. I would like to just get some new MORE motor mounts but cash is tight and parts are adding up!
 
In the middle 70's i did a 350 into an FJ40. Used a Downey Toyota kit. Mounts looked like those. If I were going looking for a replacement doughnut, i would look to tractor supply for tractor motor mounts.

BTW, anyone ever see motor mounts like these or are they homemade?

Kind of looks like the ones I just installed from Novak...

However, it does look like these 350 mounts I had when I got the other Scrambler... not 100 percent but he said AA...

I have these I'll sell you for $50, there pretty much new. They came out of an abandoned rust bucket jeep project that someone put a 350 in and never got it running. pm me

Why not just make your own? Copy or reuse what you can from the ones you have and maybe use some leaf spring bushings from the big eye of the spring?
 
Those Novak ones look nice! I may check those out.

Thanks Jeeperdd but if I stick with these I will try to just find some replacement bushings for the ones I already have.

Jeepdreamer, I've thought of building my own but at this point I don't have the time and I really just need to get to the reassembly stage rather then the disassembly I keep doing!!
 
The Novaks are really nice, but they are a bit pricey and are weld in's... I just have them mocked in place with bolts now as I have to get the placement right, I am sitting about 1 inch too far back for the placement that I want.

I don't have much room for play front to back in my engine bay so i will probably just reuse these since they are already set to put the engine where I need it. These old ones were just bolted in using only two bolts per side. I think I will find new bushings and clean these up and reuse them. I do plan on welding them in when I put them back.


 
Got a little more done today. Removed the transfercase skid plate, steering box and bracket, shocks, front shock mounts (lots of mud caked in between them and the frame rails), and the bump stops. All that is left is to drop the tank and do a final through cleaning of the frame and then it is ready to paint!
 
Had 60* weather here on Saturday and was planning on taking full advantage of it and get a lot done on the Scrambler but (of course) that didn't happen. A couple of buddies of mine called and asked if I wanted to pull the engine/tranny/t-case out of the '91 Waggy I have since it was going to be such a nice day. They drove in early Saturday morning from Saint Louis and we loaded up the waggy on my trailer using a come-a-long (a story in itself). Then took it over to another friends house where we could work on a nice flat, concrete driveway. It took us all day to strip all the parts off that we were wanting. One of the guys is rebuilding a Wagoneer with his son and needed quite a few parts. We didn't get finished 'till around 8pm. We had put in a full 12 hours of wrenching! At least it was a beautiful day spent with good friends and still working on a Jeep!

What we started with:

All in a days work!

PS. If anyone needs some Waggy parts, just let me know!

If Polarfire doesn't have the cruise stuff, I do. I have a mostly complete Waggy cruise I was about to put on Ebay, but if you need it let me know.
 
I will start a thread in the parts for sale section for the Waggy if anyone else needs something.
