Thanks, Robert... I so stoked that I figured out how to setup my own gears. All in all, not that bad of a job, once you get over the learning curve. We'll see how they perform once I get the ol girl running.
JP, I'm still pushing... just got back from the shop... finally got the motor to sit just about where it's supposed to be... I don't know if you can tell in the pic above, but it was leaning WAY aft, causing the driver's side valve cover to hit the firewall, which then caused the body to be too far back (1-1/2" or so) from being bolted down.
I have to lower the motor another 1/4" (easy), weld up motor mounts, bolt body on, fab up rad mounts, install gas tank, run brake and fuel lines, hook up shifter linkages, install steering shaft, and put in seats... As JP says and.... and.... and... and... Unfortunately, no more shop time for me until Thursday. I'm off from noon on, so we'll see. Thankfully the Big Bronco is ready once I swap tires and wire up winch.
So, Thursday is gonna be a LONG night. When you hear mad snoring friday night, it's coming from my tent in site 32 - don't be alarmed.
