Thanks for the input. Guess I got to get out of the built not bought mindset, somethings are likely better to just shell out the cash for them.

Has anyone found an alternate source (meaning not new) for rear leafs? For example in the Jeeping world the '87 to '95 YJ Wrangler can use stock rear springs from an S10 and gain a little lift or rear springs from a Cherokee for a bit of a wheelbase stretch. I saw the Durango thread where he...

Supply vs Demand :dontknow: Demand being the big one there. Like it or not there's simply not the major demand for Mopar items like the bow tie or oval stuff all you have to do is look at aftermarket support to see that.

Ahh, OK. Was hoping you were closer the Super Duty won't save me any money on fuel, that's for sure. :banghead:

Where you at in NorCal?

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

I'm a cop and I'm telling you that's jacked the f***k up. Around here a lot of people hitchhike. I've picked up a guy once way out in the boonies but I wouldn't ever do it with my family with me.

I think this is probably the easiest option. I measured it and I get 19 1/2" from the edge of the mount to the back of the filter and 19" from the mount to the firewall. If I do need to spin it..... does anyone have a part number for the gasket for the adapter? I'll go this route if it's...

Hey guys, I've got a 318 I got from a guy putting a 440 into his Cuda. Anyhow taking a look at it today after putting the Schumacher mounts on it looks like the oil filter will be hitting the firewall. Or at least will be very close to the wall. Is this an issue? Here's a pic of what I'm...

Here's some helpful info for anyone looking to pull the 8.8 from an Exploder. Look on the driver's door of the donor Explorer for the axle code on the VIN sticker. Explorer 8.8 Axle codes 43 Open 3200 3.08 41 Open 3200 3.27 42 Open 4.10 46 Open 3.73 45 Open 3200 3.55 D4 Limited Slip...

Whew, that's good. Thanks for the help I really appreciate it. I'd like to at least get this thing in there by the end of summer. It'll still be far from road worthy, but once there's a running engine it'll be more motivating.

So the actual mount (rubber isolator thing) that's on the /6 can be mounted to the 318? The one 318 I've got has mounts on it, but they are the flat biscuit looking ones. Sorry for so many newb questions, but I'm a newb at this.

Thanks, I've seen that link before, but couldn't remember where. Are you refering to the one I already have? I'm leaning back toward the conversion mounts, because the listed price of the K's was $50 and up but he said the last three have been $100, so for a little more money and what...

Congrats. For the next several months you'll likely be wondering how you're gonna make through this, then a few years will go buy and you'll wonder how you ever did anything else. Welcome to the brotherhood.

Mopar specific or just a machine shop? I can't think of anything right off that's Mopar specific, but I haven't really looked either.

Hate to ask what's probably a silly question. I read on here something about different K members for different years. My '74 has a /6 and I've got two 318's sitting in the garage. There's a guy local that has some V8 K members WAY cheaper than I can buy the conversion mounts, but I wanna make...

Damn it X's 2, I just saw this and was gonna say I could be there tomorrow night to get it. Oh well, I'll keep looking. Super great offer from the OP BTW.

That's a pretty clean looking YJ you've got there Glenn. FWIW, the YJ Tech is typically the most knowledgeable over there. Here's a pic of my junk while I was getting it back together....

Thanks guys.

Hey all I'm new here. Just picked up a '74 Duster with the /6 a couple weeks ago and have since grabbed two clean 318's and a 727 for next to nothing. Hoping to get it all together and going before too long. This is my first Mopar in a LONG time, had a '70 Duster way back in '92 but got rid...

I don't know, I'm very active on a Jeep board and had a similar situation where we agreed to each send something we needed. I sent mine and he never did, I let it slide because it was a piddly little thing, but if it were of greater value I would feel that I had to front them out. Tough call...

Sorry to hear you're not getting the help you need on JF. Unfortunately it seems that many of the really tech savvy YJ guys have bought newer rigs, there are a few of us around willing to help as much as we can. ANY electrical questions talk to Que, mechanical ask Mean Max (those are the two...
