Arie brought over a flip project. pull a good motor from a title-less 88 TBI MJ and swap to a 91 Port injected truck MJ and get it running. Truck one was delivered last week and the good motor pulled. Truck two was delivered monday, motor pulled, parts swapped, installed, and test drove the truck that night. ;D

so much easier to fit a 4cyl into a XJ/MJ than a I6...
-
i was happy i didnt have to pull two front clips off.
there was some sweet mouse house action in the bellhousing of the blue one!
-
Blue MJ gone...
drove it down to Nu Way...
I will return the battery post haste.. will bring it on the next leg of journey tomorrow.
-
she drive good? only thing i noticed was a little vib like at start up that seemed kinda weird, but it drove great for me.
from what i can read, you dont really time those motors they are either in the spec or not, no engine light i think we are good.
-
ran great..
had it up to 55 on W.hen rd.
had a vibration.. but it was the loose Driver side mirror..
started my 86 today..
different story.. sitting for over 2 years its running kinds shitty..
has great power on rev, but stumbles when you let off the gas..
either clogged or shitty fuel or some kind of manifold vac leak..
need to get that one registered so I can run through a tank of gas..
rear lift shackles are in thanks to Erik.. front spacers will be this week...
-
i took it to 70 on my drive, i dont mess around when its shit i work on and hand off.
so odd to have stock brakes with stock tire size and feel massive stopping power compared to the rest of my piles lol
good to hear your happy. No problem if the white one doesnt move for a while i can put it in my fleet pile out back....
-
blue MJ @ scottys awaiting new owner or ? ? ? ?
hit 70 on the hwy... thing actuallly rides nice..
it would really make a good gas saver and a decent truck for the $$$
-
you sell it yet? did the flip do well?
whats next?
-
working on it..
-
find something with a blown D35, there is one sitting out back that is fine ;D
-
that MJ is going as a roller or a trailer..
-
any update on the white MJ?
-
working on it..
-
need it gone or want it?
-
not an issue really but i would not mind if a black WJ and white MJ would dissapear :) i was put the good stuff in the cab but i dont think i have keys any more...
-
whew, I was worried you'd care about a charcoal WJ there. the black one must be Melissa's old one? :)
-
ill cut some things off it and scrap the rest if you want ???
-
cost is long absorbed, just wish I had a better parking spot. I'd still love to throw a TDI in it and daily it.
-
MJ's make great TDis
you still have the keys in the ash tray..
working on either getting rid of it, or trailer
-
MJ rides and handles better than the Nissan. Hah
-
where did my battery endup- thats the only one i have that "fits" in the ford lol
Also i can deliver the white mj some where next week ill have mikes trailer
-
it’s still in the blue MJ...
you really want the white one outta there huh???
don’t the more vehicles you have around legitimize your business?
im selling it for $400 . . it will be gone shortly..
battery is in 12 corners.. need it asap?
-
Your selling the running mj for 400? Or is that the parts one
-
just making sure you didnt forget about it :)
no hurry on the battery, i just dont want it dead when ever i get it back- was a good truck battery 2years old :)
honesly more importantly i dont want the plow truck to kill the yellow top that is in it right now.
bah! i need more batteries
-
the white MJ is foze up i cant push it either so shovel will get warmed up tonight :)
-
where did my battery endup- thats the only one i have that "fits" in the ford lol
You could fit like 17 batteries u fee that hood
-
dont hate
-
Smike I could stop by with a a truck from work when I'm in henrietta and give you a hand moving it
-
Alex I dont think your work trucks could handle the sweetness of the ford. Sorry braaa
-
Idk the international wrecker with bad injectors and surging breaks is just about as sweet. But she got a sweet new paintjob to cover the rust
-
maybe alex, i have 4 cars that need to be moved. dont have keys for 2 and one is a RWD
-
If its quite tonight ill swing over to henrietta
-
just throw mine in the back somewhere..
it will either be gone or ill move it by next week..
