Well, today was a bummer. Looks like this transmission is a loss without a complete gear set. All ofthe gears have heavy pitting on a quarter of...
We are going see how it goes this weekend. I've received my rebuild kit from Novak Conversions. I just need to pick up a bearing separator today....
Yes sir, that is correct. But I am only able to harvest the engine and power steering group at this point, as it's my brother's Jeep and he did...
Since this is a ground up rebuild, I wanted to take advantage of the extra strength of the T-15. If the inspection reveals a can of worms then I...
Your absolutely correct. I won't know what I need until I get it broke down and cleaned up. I was gathering part source locations when I ran into...
I was referring to the cluster shaft. (I've always hear it called the counter shaft) Yes and no. Yes, I am using the T-15 from the 304 and mating...

Okay, so the '74 frame and axles are blasted to near white. They have received a coat of Marine epoxy paint this last weekend. The cross member...
That's good to know. I'll try and get a look it and see if it is a manual. The '73 with the 304 has a locked up transmission in it.
I agree. This is a frame off rebuild. I'm not building a museum correct/quality Jeep but it will be a complete rebuild from axles to interior as...
Thanks to all that input your thoughts. After looking at the responses, it appears that unless I am going to be hotrodding the engine that there...
First let me say, I'm not trying to start a fight. I am only trying to decide which direction to go. I have a '74 with a rod thrown out of the...
Okay then. Shoot that idea. Thanks
