Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda

I had a chance to spend some time over the long weekend to work on the Barracuda more. The car has been re painted a black over the oem green. The re paint has been flaking which is the primary reason for whats being done now. I have been able to sand the majority of the flaking paint off which means the car is about ready to spray plasti dip. I need to buy a 12ft by 20ft tarp building in prep. I will keep everyone posted on the progress.

Meanwhile, in the garage the engine has had more work done. I installed the oil CJ (1986) 258 pickup tube on the 4.0 and made note of its location. It appears I have the clearance for the steering linkage. My steering linkage has about 1.5in of movement (Front to Rear) as it moves Left to Right. And with the steering set straight, there is about half inch of clearance to the oil pan. My thought is to notch the oil pan for the steering linkage about 2 inches.
