I'm back, been a long time

[Mud Thrasher]

After 3 kids and no money to spend on my jeep habit I finally made it back. I had to park my cherry then when I went to sell it I hooked up a hot battery to it and it burnt up on me.:( Now all I have is my 88 Wag. Long story short it needs a new head but was thinking of just changing the engine. I went looking at the prices and also remember other ppl that tried the Jasper rebuilds and they were a mixed bag. If I can find somewhere to pull the motor then I'm going to do it myself. What motors have ya'll gotten and how good were they? Once I can get it running I have to put new treads on it and work on the interior. I'm just ready to have my ol' jeep running again(tired of the 2wd grandcherr getting stuck).:drivin:

Wow Don, the whole web format has changed alot but the ppl and everything else is the same. It's amazing how much of the mechanical stuff I've forgotten. Once I get my hands greasy again im sure it will all come back to me again.

Don't you mean lurking, Tad?

Nice to hear from ya.

[Mud Thrasher]

I like what you did to the back end of yours tad. Did you fill it in or did you just leave it open?

[Tad]

Don't you mean lurking, Tad?...
Cool, however you percive it is fine by me, not like I am quiting my day job for you. :rolleyes:

Mud Thrasher,
If you hop to that link in my sig, the "1970 wagoneer - It's Time" one, somplace down on about page 6-7 (IIRC, might be later, it was over 30, 6 hour days last summer) shows how I closed that in.
I could not have done that without the folks I met back here in '01-'02's support.
It's all there, everything from the first (of several) screwups to moving it down the road.

Welcome back! If you need a good engine let me know cause I've got a 360 that's ready to drop into something.

[Mud Thrasher]

Hey Chrome give me some info on that motor. You know i sold an 86 wag to my b/i/l in Tupelo a few years back. Drove it all the way from Baton Rouge to Tupelo. Is it just a stock motor or has it had some mods? Round about what did it cost ya for your motor?
