[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 725929, member: 4983"] It is done already, about as done as an offroad rig gets, I'll get to the point soon. I wanted to make a thread that goes somewhat in order though and turns out its alot of typing. As for the northstar, yeah they definately had their issues but most all of that is due to GM's decision to thread fairly fine thread head bolts directly into an aluminum block. I went ahead and hopefully got ahead of that issue by going ahead and installing the big 5/8-11 thread insert kit on this engine. Good call on the ujoints, I completely forgot and left that part out. The pic is a little deceiving but there is a slight bit of misalignment between the trans output and the tcase input. The transfercase sitts slightly offset to the driver's side to give me some extra front driveshaft clearance. As for the ZJ buggy, its going nowhere. Were planning to go somewhere for New Years, maybe Stony and we'll be taking it with its windshield and heater. [/QUOTE]
