Hi all, I'm beginning a project to convert my '81 Wagoneer to a diesel (and 4-speed auto). I got a 1984 Suburban as a donor; it had a 6.2L diesel first, which...
This is the only problem I have not solved in my 350ci change over. The jeep heater hose water system differs from the chevy system. The jeep system always has...
I know there are valves available which can turn off or at least significantly slow down the water flow. It's a simple butterfly valve that you splice into...
That was my radiator guys solution. ... From: Wayne Price <waggy401@...> To: CA_FSJA@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 10:09:05 AM Subject:...
The heater core should not have enough heat transfer surface area to keep the engine cool on its own. I would first suspect a sticking thermostat. Try ...
Welcome James to the group! Your membership has been approved so I shouldn't have to moderate your posts as all new members should at least post FSJ related...
... Mac... What is this good relationship we have there ? Last time I called them, their used parts cost more than the new parts I could get locally... Is...
Well I guess I'll have to call and see what he may have in a discount for the membership with the CA_FSJA! I've known him for years, and have developed a good...
Hey all, I went to the PNP in Merced today, and found a 74 Cherokee S narrow track. It had some interesting parts left. The QT doesn't have low range - just...
I'm still looking at engines for my current jeep project, and someone reccommended an "ecco." i have no idea what that is. he said they were used in dune...
Probably a GM Ecotec motor. Theres lots of them, a few are popular with the dune crowd. This should get you going... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecotec kris....
I love wheeling in the snow. FSJs seem to take to it naturally. When they are built like Brandon's (AKA Stuka), they are even better. Check out the picture...
Hi to all, I thought I had found to J10 I have searching for. Drove to northern Ca .from so cal and the jeep was nice, to many little things to fix, made the...
Most dune buggies run VW flat 4's. And they dont have a lot of power. The only feel like they do because dune buggies dont weight anything. What you need in a...
Not sure what your Jeep project exactly is but a 4cyl in any Jeep is just bad I think. I see so many YJ and TJs that struggle with my group due to lack of...
Yeah, i checked ou the ecotec, and i think i'm better off finding a good squat 225 to drop in my FC. thanks guys I'd rather stick with an older, simpler motor...
Let's see; a simple, torquey reliable engine that is easy to find parts for and fits in the FC. If it were me, I would get a 258, put a 4.0 head on it with a...
Being new to the group, I thought I'd add this tidbit I learned from the dealer 15yrs ago. The engine wiring harness on my J10 almost burned the truck to the...

I had this exact same thing happen. although I didn't smell anything burning.. I had parked the GW due to a rod knock so when I pulled the motor is when I...
The OE routing of the electricals are against the valve cover and the intake manifold. The smog hoses to the canister (canister installed on the passenger side...
Just a tip- '76 on up California Cherokees (and others I am sure) use a fuel filter with an extra port for fuel recirculation back to the tank. According to...
While swapping intake manifolds I installed a new oil filler tune from BJ's offroad. It was way shorter than the original and the cap interfered with the...

Has anyone put a serpentine belt on an AMC V8 yet? I haven't found any kits for it but it sure seems like it would be a good thing.I've had to adjust the power...
I sure like the serp setup on the 454 I have. Those spring-loaded tensioners are the hot tip. I've never seen a kit for an AMC engine. It'll be interesting to...
