well its nothing special choose that name because the doner Cheby the engine came out off I found what looked to me like a small pocket scale that might have been used to measure out crack.
i picked up this M170 (CJ6) as my next project for $300
egine is TBI 4.3
tranny NV3500
tcase NP231
front axle HP D30
rear axle 9" with strange 31 spline axleshafts.
the plan for the jeep is to keep it as stock looking as possible so it will be spring under, i will be painting it OD green, i am getting the original medics canvas with the crosses, and plan on placing all of the original markings on it. the thing will mostly see hunting duties and since i live on the wrong side of the mountians for hunting i went with a fuel injection engine. nothing taller then 33" tires.
the frame is getting boxed also
so far i am in this project only $1500 that includes everything mentioned above plus a few other things, medics top.
some pics of what i have done so far
the engine, tranny and tcase
placing the engine in and making some initial measurements as far as firewall clearance and front cross member clearance
its first drive almost
The doors are on there way,
i also picked up the 9" and shafts from work
engine on the frame getting ready to measure tail shaft height and angles
Made this at work, normally we use it for hot rods but I tiged these bosses on the end and made a couple of tabs on the frame. This way I can remove the oil pan without having to pull the engine out. Plus it should give the frame a little more rigidity. The yellow line is were I need to cut it
the front axle is sitting were it needs to be as far as side to side, the spring mount perches sit just out side of the frame and not on the diff housing (driver side) or the vacuum Disco. thing (passenger side)
The rear end is also sitting in its place but unfortunately I think I might have to cut the old spring perches on and re-weld them.
almost done with the cross member, and I finally found some stock YJ springs real cheap. its amazing how much people want for old stock YJ leafs. I just needed them to get a rolling frame
tacked these plates on (I will later fully weld everything at work with a 220V welder). I welded some nuts to the back side, another plate will bolt on to them with some tube for support
these tubes are going to be welded to the plates which bolt on to the other plates. this is not final and things might change.
I will also add some more tubes and weld a steal plate underneath the whole thing for a skid plate
ran into a little problem. the gusset on the T-case sticks into the frame and my sawzall is busted. so that
