1991 Grand Wagoneer Build Thread *pic rich thread*

[jwalton23]

Okay so here is my build thread. I have a 91 waggy and I have lifted it, added bigger tires, redone 80% of the interior has been repaired or replaced. I started to hear some knocking from the motor that sounded like it was coming from the bottom end. So I figured it was time for a rebuild.

here is the truck


here is the pic right after hood removal.


this is the empty engine bay. which I will be cleaning and painting.


Here is the bare block...well the crank is still in until i get the timing cover off. (no pulley remover to get harmonic balancer off.


Will have a lot more pics coming soon.

My plans are as follows.
Bored 30 over
clean and paint
intake and 4v carb
maybe a cam

Just a little refresher and some upgrades.

Thanks for sharing. Where did you get the mirrors?

[jwalton23]

where's the torque converter?


maybe a cam? surely you aren't gonna reuse the stock cam on a rebuild.

[jwalton23]

I should have said maybe an aftermarket cam... it will be new either way. and the torque converter is there it was bolted to the fly wheel. it looks to be new and in good shape.

Very nice! Love the way it all came together. Like the fact you left off the roof rack, did you weld the holes or bondo them?
