Mike I bought the small parts kit from 4WDHardware and it did not contain the

were if the synchronizers were bad or the front/rear bearing was bad.

As usual Rick Grover is much more efficient that I am. I don't expect Rick's
web page to go anywhere, however I did still post the Warn OD Manual as I
promised. Rick's is much prettier than mine and I recommend using his. Mine
will still be there, tied to the Pickup FAQs.



Rick, Nice job.

Friends,

I found a Hallmark Card today, in their "Impromptu" section...

It's a pic of a very little boy in a jean jacket, at the
wheel of either a CJ-7 or a Wrangler. It's a closeup pic.
Kinda cool. The door and windshield hinges, along with the
flat windshield tell us it's a Jeep.

The inside is blank, so you can give it on any occasion. I am giving
it to my wife, letting her know not just boys get their toys. :) She
gets hers tomorrow.

Leaving in the AM for the surprise trip to the ice skate factory. My
wife will be getting those long awaited custom skates thanks to the
Jeep parts sales. Weather permitting, we fly in my buddies private
plane. Weather not permitting, sore fanny by the end of the day.

Take care,

Dave

I have similar yet different problem. Some PO apparently got a new toy in
the form of a rivet gun and thought that this was just the neatest thing
invented by man since fire.
This dude riveted EVERYTHING!!!

One of the worst places he attacked was the left rear quarter panel. He
replaced this and used about 100 rivets to install it. There is a double row
of rivets that follow the wheel well, down along the bottom of the panel
right up along the top!

Sorry but looks a little more then just "rustic".

Someone suggested spot welding each one then grinding them down. Any other
ideas?

Re: Buick 225/231 front axle clearance, now burst oil filter

Mike Boyink
 

From: Bill Lagler <wbl@...>
AFAIK this only happens to swapped in V6's, not the factory
installed ones. The problem is with the direction of the
oil filter mount. From memory (maybe not quite right) the
OEM V6 has the filter coming off the right front corner
of the motor at about a 45 deg angle but level. Most of
the car engines have the filter pointed more straight
forward, 30 deg maybe, and angled down, right at the front
pumpkin. Hit a good bump and suddenly you're pumping your
oil on the ground.
Hmmm..the first V6 swapped into my Jeep I'm pretty sure was a car motor (it
had a 1bbl carb and didn't all the Jeep V6's have a 2bbl?). The oil filter
on that was level, as is the one on my current V6 which is a Jeep V6.

Could this be a 198 V6 vs a 225 V6 thing??

Regardless, it always makes for a fun cleanup after an oil change...:)

Yes, a thanks to Landon and Rick Grover for scanning the Warn OD manual and putting it up on the
web.

I don't have an OD yet. Been looking for one for some time. And now, when I am suddenly offered a
good one and at a good price, I don't have the cash (I know - sob, sob) But I will keep the manual
on file for some other day. (No you can't have it. It was an offer off the list by someone who
could use it, but doesn't need it right away - hasn't started his resto.)

Re: Buick 225/231 Clearance

Chuck Pedretti
 

I think maybe that's what Chuck did, problem is the V6/V8 to T90 requires
an adapter that's 2.5" thick and moves the engine forward to far.
That is what I used, but I also moved the trans x-member forward 1.5" for
firewall clearance. If I hadn't moved it (and maybe I need to move it back)
I would have had to dimple the firewall.

about the layout of the V-6 but given the fact that there is only 3 cylinders

the other problem is firewall but I was just hoping that would work out and
lastly the steering I was hoping could be routed acordingly. Just my thoughts
With the V6 positioned right the original steering fits without mods.
The firewall requires a small mod just like the factory CJ5 V6.

of which I don't even know if it is possible. My other thought since I have
never seemed to run out of power on the trail is a suped up f-head. Like a
performance cam from clifford which widens the torque range, a header, the weber
I currently have, perhaps port and polish the heads, and throw on an electronic
ignition. Who knows so many options?!
Built to the max the 134 will never match the power of a stock V6, just
to big of a difference in cubic inches.

Re: Buick 225/231 front axle clearance - Long

Chuck Pedretti
 

I'll take a look at my jeeps tonight and try to get
some measurements.
could you check the measurement of the pulley (crank) center vertically from
the front round x-member on the 2a? This will tell me the most as far as
where I am at for height.

Thanks for all the help - stupid questions getting quality answers.

BTW I posted the same question on the parts Mike BBS (AA's suggestion for
help)

Question: I am completing my swap of a Buick 231 into a 46 cj2a using AA
trans adaptor to the stock T-90 as well as their buick motor mounts. Their
directions are vauge at best - suggesting moving the motor to the drivers
side 1.5" and 1.5" forward - the side movement would results in their motor
mount on the passenger side being too short. I chose to center the motor in
the frame (moving it 1.5" to the passenger side) and moved it 1.5" forward).
The motor is mounted level front to back. I am running a 2.5" lift and there
is only 4" of clearance between the crank pulley and the 1st point of
contact on the axle. Any suggestions?

His response: "The reasons for moving the engine to the left is for
driveshaft(starter) and diff clearance (pan).Your engine is also very low in
the chassis, you are not going to lineup on the radiator very well. Have you
thought of starting over and doing some fabrication on the mounts, I have
installed the AA mounts without having to do this, maybe you don't have the
correct ones. The ones I use utilize the stock Buick mount (insulator).
Mike"

Unfortunately although he recommends starting over he gave no usefull info
on how to fix the problem - about as useful as AA's conversion guide.
