I don't know. I was kind of thinking a M38 project with it :) Talk about a screaming little jeep... Yeh I wish I had known about that before I spent $500 getting mine recored.

New motor in and bolted down but done for the day. We'll get everything else in tomorrow.

Followed the -20 for engine pack removal and went fine. Lots of blast media and oil residue in the hull. Pressure washing that this afternoon and try sticking the new engine in.

Old one is out.

First suspect is always Ground.

I priced the forklift out with a trailer so just need to make sure the hands are available before bringing it to the AO.

Getting it running was the easy part. Now the fun begins. One interesting note between the original motor and the new one is that they disconnected the 24v from running through the cannon plug (on original) and routed it through the relocated bus bar to the starter. They actually took the...

Man it takes a long time to upload even a short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sSIu66at5Q&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sSIu66at5Q http://youtu.be/2sSIu66at5Q

Ok I can't find a video version of Alvin Lee's "Detroit Diesel" but if you know the song just hum along "You got me running like a Detroit Diesel..." STAND BY!!

I forgot to mention that you went through my old neighborhoods. I went to HS in Grangeville, ID and to the U of I in Moscow so know Hwy 12 extremely well. That road is a sunny 6 lane interstate compared to some of the roads through the Smokey Mountain National Forest that a certain other SS...

Congrats Mike! Glad you could find one close to home. Now comes all the fun :). Word of advice, change the fan belts NOW!

Well since he was also a sculptor and cartoonist I'm sure he did a painting or two.

That's because it looks like a Rube Goldberg painting. It could use an extra staircase leading no where to complete it.

Keith_J was over today and after burning up one chop saw and buying another one got the stand feet welded together. Unfortunately I forgot there was no mail delivery today so the pan gaskets I was expecting won't be here until tomorrow. Ignore the quality of the radiator set up. I got my...

Got all the pieces for the spin-on oil filter. Boy that's a big filter (oil bottle for size reference)! ~~

Good news and better news today. Keith_J came by to weld up the oil pan (and did a fabulous job) and what I neglected to mention while taking the oil pan off was that one of the bolts broke in the block. I was planning on drilling it and using an Easy-Out but there was enough left that Keith...

I have a stack of them in the classifieds also new in the box. They're not $50 though.

It was dredged back up in September and I just wanted to make sure they knew that a cab reinforcement panel was a good idea. Even without a ring mount the cab brace is a good idea. Just where would you get one?? Where would somebody find something like that (new, in the box) to put in their...

And you need to add a cab reinforcement panel to the back to keep the cab from flexing from the weight.

That was the plan. My dad was making fun of more because I couldn't find one. He said when he was a mechanic in the '50s he never bought a preformed gasket once. However, I would like a complete one when I swap the pan with the ball valve back to this motor.
