Got in a spare head, an oil pan, Oregan cams cam, gaskets, two barrel manifold for the 225. That is going together on the engine stand. Out comes the 170! Also, have bored out the exhaust manifold to 2 1/2" and will replace exhaust all the way out. Lots of small tweaks to the 225, including appearance, will be painted the Chrysler Green.
Got a Jeep D35 Rear end out of a wrangler, so far looks like just need to weld perches on it and cut off Track bar brackets to make this work. Maybe some U joint finagling. Adding at least one more leaf out back, and going with bigger torsion bar up front,
Dr Diff front disc conversion kit on it's way, so all BBP all the way around.
15" torque thrust wheels.
the 15" wheels and higher stance will protect the oil pan from future holes in it on our Hawaii lava country roads. Has almost no ground clearance, can't get my floor jack under the K member as is now!
Should make a major difference in use-ability of this vehicle for me here in Hawaii.
