so heres my project tell me if you guys would like a build thread
79 jeep cj5
getting a ford idi diesel with a 4 speed and fullsize axles and a bunch of custom work
all added on parts like axles etc. will be ford thats why i offered here and the jeep guys dont like anything without an ls1 swap
Aww what the hell, Ford made Jeeps back in the day, show the rest of the Jeep world how it should have been.
Oh, and before you start...
Needs more Triangulation:flipoff2:
Stretch it and put a zf5 in it...... I hate 4 speeds! I think a Scout II would be a better match with the IDI/ZF5, but I like that you're willing to ruin a Jeep just to try to be different. Hope it works out ok for you!!
well i cant find a zf5 for a god price and i dont call it ruining it bank screwed up my account so till it gets straightened out the jeep is on hold but ill some pics up
idis rock so much torque
no no pistons are melted but one has the ear broke off
ya the one with the broken ear has no marks on the cylinder from it or any marks on the connecting rod and no shavings or chunks
progress update
got motor tranny and t case pulled
as i suspected the t18 was in the jeep so that means i will have 3 trannys for it
im buying 2 trannys and a belhousing plus some old clutch parts off a buddy that will bolt to the diesel
so it happens the t18 was in the 4speed diesels so thats how it worked perfect
pics will be updated soon havnt done a lot at a time or was rushed so i didnt take pics
this weeks plans get the tranny in and see about finding a smf to replace the cracked dmf im getting
got bored so i worked on the 3d model im working out to keep ideas flowing
fiberglass top is a project once i get it running
topless :bounce2::bounce:
hoodless yes there will have to be a few hood mods i think i might rotate the turbo and run a sideways semi style aircleaner well see
turbo routing setup:flipoff2::flipoff2:
i think my scale is off because those are supposed to be 36" tires huh
