LOL my dad couldn't help me. I had to do it myself.

 

thats the best way to learn lol

 

I took the heads in today. They will get cleaned, checked and decked is need be, $140.
The block machining will hit me for 240-280 depending where I go.
The rebuild kit is 650.
The Jeep was 1700 including tax title and registration.

Less than 3g for a nice rust free family truckster.

 

OK! you guys ready for this? I got so pissed at my woman last night. I was all set to go out with HER dad and brother for a guys night at the bowling alley ( yes I bowl, yes I'm good) then a tournament. So screw her Jeep. I worked on the camaro.

I did all this last night in about two hours. Took pics this morning.

Here is the finish welding of the close out panel for the fire wall. Had to fab a small patch too.


Then skimmed the panel so I can get it smooth, I warped the snot out of it. Impatience I know. Then it was all about getting it rolling. I had the frame on and mostly square in ten minutes I swear. I've done it three times.


I would have sanded everything smooth but didn't have any paper for my long board.

So her is the profile shots with my new wheels. thats what its all about. I don't think this counts as getting my Magnaflow exhaust in.



Yes ma'am I do use rather large rubbers.



In the end I really did it all because I needed the engine stanto build the 4.7 for the Jeep.

 

how much tire is that anyway.... I do like the look of that much tire... I see you have that funny white stuff on the ground... EEEWWWW!!

 

The rears are 315/35ZR17's. The fronts are 245/45ZR17's

 

wow damon that looks really sharp,i thought u did a great job on the firewall its gonna look really nice when ur done,and those tires and rims are just awesome,i love the ols school look with the new tires,sure is gonna ride nice i bet,keep up the good work brother,i know u gotta put a big cam in that jeep.

 

Nope the Jeep is a SOHC design. Two cams. It kind of makes the Northstar motors not look so scarey. The only upgrades I'm aware of a HO cams and thier scarce. The Jeep is the womans DD, that means the reliability of bone stock outweighs performance. When it gets passed to me its getting a SBC and a 6" lift. But that a good five years from now.

 

yeah i know what u mean,i had a northstar in my fiero before i sold it,pain to work on but run really smooth and very reliable.i know that jeep is a good motor so it will be worth it in the end,good luck on the rebuild.that 3.4 chevy twin cam is also a nightmare but revs really high,my freind had one in his fiero.

 

I set the motor in today. Wouldn't ya know it. The air box on the stealth ram is flush with he top of the cowl, I could have used the stock hood.
