Hey Speedy
I would say yes to the V6...it should give you some more speed than the 4 cylinders do...swap out the rear end gearing could help too...just a thought that's all...shoot then you gotta put bigger brakes in it too... Project looks great so far...keep up the good work... MikeC

I suppose an update is in order.
tried fixing images in the first page but no luck. the v6 idea has been put off for awhile, I would like to put that into a willys truck when I buy one. I am now contemplating the kubota diesel swap.... but the plan still rolls with the kaiser supersonic engine which is painted gray now.  picked up a jeep body off a member  a nice winch and pto to restore, also a warn overdrive   picked up a nice rebuilt dana 44  rebuilt the dana 18 (video to follow shortly)  and a nice wiring harness  still a long way to go, but once I rebuild the dana 30 front I can start putting things back onto the frame :) I also acquired a nice arctic top.

I think its time to get the axle's situated.
Dana 30 is waiting to be sent out for complete rebuild, and the Dana 44 should get some paint this weekend...
and if all goes to plan my Superlift 2.5'' kit should be here within a week or two, so you all should be seeing a how to video on installing that, stoked! now if only I can settle on rims and tires this jeep might finally be able to power itself shortly!   and all the goodies for that D30 from YukonGear.... axles are expensive to rebuild!  |

anyone have any comments on my pattern, the farthest to the right is my last attempt. (if you click the image it should go to photo bucket and you can make it larger!)

incase anyone is following copy and past from another spot
it was to be painted the thanksgiving past but the fellow at sherwin williams sold me the incorrect paint and I only realized months after. this was a huge dissapointment and still is, killed my entire long weekend and the painters. and not impressed at the money lost. and thee reason why I needed to step back from the project. moving forward the dupont imron retailer is now helping me choose the correct single stage paint I want. so hopefully spring the jeep will have its colour.  axle painted left drums as is, (planning on disks)  super lift 2.5 inch lift.   few setbacks on my end. mainly the spring hangers. mostly sorted out now, likely replace spring hangers sometime down the road. I should do those now but I have some confidence they will work out and I do not feel like messing with them. ( I will be saying that down the road when I have to do them on a car hoist lmao  ) so now just waiting to finnish rebuilding the dana 30, that has been a delay also. hopefully it goes well as I am still working on it  also purchased a second hard top.  so the mechanical portion is just about done, just need the steering put back together then purchase the dual master cylinder and plumb the brakes if you want to make your own shifter not much happening, just ordered all the new disc parts for the front of the Dana 30 should have them saturday.
also have a order from Hermtheoverdriveguy.com  anyhow have a few Dana 30 spindles kicking around and thought I should clean them up and check the OD's where the bearings and seals sit.  |

A caution about painting... prime the body to protect it, then assemble the jeep on the frame with the drive train in place. Make sure that everything fits together properly and that you have all the correct dash, floor and firewall openings, and that they are correctly sized. Be sure that the seats, pedals, starter, transmission and Tcase fit where they should without interference, etc.
Then take the tub, fenders, windshield, grille, etc, off and paint them. |

That is one big pile of parts. I love the disc brakes I have in mine. There is only one concern with the discs. The bearing races that go on them are not common. I believe they are factory order only. If one of the seals goes on the back side of the hub, where you can't see it, the bearing will shortly follow and it takes a couple of days to get a new race. Since I have experience this, the fix is to take the front apart each year and check all the seals and grease. If you hear any rotational squeaks from the front end it is time.

I have the stock disc's on my dana 30 and those bearings were easy to source I was thinking the rears would use the same. seems odd they would be hard to source, they are going on the full float dana 44 rear with new spindles so I think they should hold up fine but I will now certainly maintain them with your info! :) Edited by Speedy - 28 May 2016 at 7:56pm |
