Wow. I don't think I've seen a rig with so much quality thought put into it in a long, long time. This thing is trick!

 

[Cherokeekid88]

Any chance you could post up a clip of the exhaust? tempted to hear it.

 

[troy5118]

Finally got this thing painted.











Cherokeekid88 I'll get a sound clip up soon.

Took the rig out to Tuttle Creek for the weekend. Worked like a champ.

Update! Hey look what I finally got put together!

- Polished oem rods, resized with ARP fasteners
- 1985 258 crank, turned .010" with snout machined for late model drive
- Decked 0.025"
- Mild port job on head. Cleaned up the chamber, short side radius, valve guide bosses, throat, etc. I raised the exhaust port roof a bit. Running LS valves, locks retainers and Comp 918 springs installed at 1.70"

From what I've heard, Harland Sharp rockers are an excellent substitute for Yella Terras.

Nice build! Can't say that I'm crushing on the color choice, but it's certainly different than normal, and that's good!

You need some vids or sound clips when it's running!

Here it is November of 2017 and I haven't been on here for awhile but I do still have my Jeep. Its actually my daily as horrible as the fuel economy is but the thumbs up are worth it. I'm going to attach some of the missing photos below so any building this stuff in the future has some reference points.
