I like that bracket. It gives you two batteries, plus you can use shorter cables for less draw.

Humpty build
Looking forward to taking first drive. Zack has been a pleasure to do business with over the last 14 months. A professional at every step. He kidded me about deserving such rare parts, NOS cab ect., my affliction started in 1978 when I got a 73 J-4000, (Abner) still use as plow truck, survived near 30 years hardcore 4-wheelin, I fixxed up a 69 2 years ago (Bufurd), (350 Buick) to cut Abner some slack, restoring a 70 right now, for kicks I guess. So Humpty is going to a good home.
Real tranny's have 80/90 in emCurrent fleet
Abner-73 He started it all in 1979 (plow truck now)
Bufurd-69 Fixed up to take Abners place as DD
Delta-70 Built for fun, 455 Olds, T-18, D-20, 4:10 gears
Humpty-74 J-20 4BT, NV4500, 30+MPG

Thank you. Glad to see you found the thread Jim.
Just put a BUNCH more pics up in photobucket, www.photobucket.com/zmjeeps
The bed is primed, all the dynamat and dynaliner is done in the cab (except around the pedals and on the tranny cover). Roof, floor, firewall, rear wall, all done. Kinda eerie how quiet it is in the cab, even with the air compressor and such running.
Also go the inner fender mounted along with the battery tray, so its in its final position. You can see where we had to cut into the pass side inner fender:
Trying like he[[ to get it done in time for PA Jeeps. May have to go put together in primer . Any questions on the pics, let me know. Thanks,
Zack

I had a chance to come out to the shop and take a look at this rig. Its spotless and I still have no idea where Zack finds the cherry NOS sheet metal.
Keep up the great work Zack!87 Waggie - The perfect exploring machine, just fixing things every weekend.

Intercooler Madness
The 4bta that is going in Project Humpty needs an intercooler. I pested Dusty and some others about how to do it and got some pics. Depending on what grill you use, you can hide a lot of intercooler behind the bigger FSJ grills. I put a couple of restraints on this design. While this project is going to get a razor grill, I wanted to be able to fit the intercooler in without cutting too much sheetmetal and maybe still hide it behind a Rhino grill if I do another one of these. I also wanted to keep the size of the intercooler (lxwxh) as close as I could to the intercooler that came with the 4bta in the box truck. So with all that in mind, I give you...
I got some 90 degree hose ends and that is how it will be coming through the radiator support like so:
Personally, I think this shot looks bad @$$:

Its not a perfect fit, but I think its the closest available. I was trying to stay with the $200 premade sport compact bar and plate intercooler rather than an $800 custom made one that would look and perform just like it.

The core is 24x12x3. I got set up as a dealer with the the company so I could get more engineering data on the intercoolers than Joe public. So you could get one from me, or find one on the internet/Ebay...
