Checked clearance between the rad and engine, I originally had the rad bolted outside of the grill, I'm going to have to trim the brackets off of it and mount it in the grill instead, will post up some pics once I get back to it

Thanks, progress slowed down because of Turkey season, but that shouldn't be an issue now, my next step is to figure out what I'm doing for a rad then see if I need to move the engine back a bit more or not

Moved the engine back 2 more inches, needed the fan to rad clearance

Also Installed the steering box and modified the cj grill to fit

Haven't worked in the Jeep lately but I think I'm gonna hit up the pic n pull and see what I can find for a fuel injection set up with the harness/computer system and all the pulleys and brackets

Spent some time at the wrecking yard to see what they had, I was already there getting a door for a friends car. Thought I found the perfect truck but it turned out to be a 5.2 and not the 5.9. I've been looking on Kijiji at vans and trucks, seen a few but nothing close enough to me

Bought another dash and a rad for it, the jeep is taking a time out for a while, will still be collecting parts for it. We have a new edition to the family and a my wife got her dream car from her dad. So the Camaro is going to be first on the list of things to do

No progress on the car or jeep, but the other day at work I put a 2 1/2 skyjacker lift kit on one of our parts guy's jeep, it was a 2013 wrangler

Sold the original engine today and used the jeep as a work bench
