[QUOTE="Jeepasaurusrex, post: 1234017, member: 15991"] [B]I have finally got a chance to start putting the CJ7 back together. Over the past few years, we've had to move a few times. Each time the Jeep project button gets reset. It has always seemed to take a back seat to other things going on. I have said no to a bunch of offers to crew chief on race cars, odd jobs, foster kids, and other time killing activities. Its time to get the Jeep back on the road! I figured the first place to start was to get the engine back together and put in. I got traded this AMC 360 strait across for the 258 that was in there. The 360 had a burnt valve in the head, but the short block was a reman in good condition. So, I pulled the motor back down to the short block and cleaned it up. Lots of care was given to keeping dirt/grime out of the engine. The block is ready for paint tonight. After it is painted, then its onto the heads. I got a set of heads that were rebuilt less than 20k miles ago. It will not take much to get them ready. I'm going to replace the valve stem seals, grind off any casting flashing (just looks like crap) and do a generally good degrease clean up. The block is going to be a real dark, midnight blue while the heads will be the same color. Had to stop by the dollar store yesterday to get the wife some stuff for her office meeting. While there I checked out the tool section (if you can call it that) and picked up a nice small wire brush set for $1. Then I cruised over to the paint section and scored two cans of Duplicolor engine paint for $1 a can! I priced it at another store later, its $8.
