wow, at first i wasnt thinking that this project was going to work out to smooth, but you have prooved me and im sure loads of other poeple wrong. looks prett good.
How was that heep only 300 bucks? theres quite a bit of money right there in just parts.
id have to say thats a pretty darn good find.
I didn't think it was going to be possible myself...LOL But with a little fabrication, some metal, and a good welder, anything is possible. A great thing on the $300 wragler is that it has all the vacuum lines and all the plugs that they go to, the engine I had before was missing the entire vacuum set up, so this works out just perfect.
Onto getting the Heap so cheap. A friend bought it to use the trans in his Heap, well it turns out that it is a different trans, this one is a four cyl and his is a 6 cyl, so he can't use it. The tranny shop took the trans out and informed him that it was different, so at that point he was stuck with another Heap sitting there. This one is starting to rust out in the rear section of the frame. He asked me my opinion on what to do with it, I offered him $300 for it complete, so that he could use that $300 towards finding a trans for his 6 cyl, he took it and ran, I took the Heap and pulled...literally, the trans was sitting in the back of it, so I pulled it home.
