So are you taking the knuckles and shafts from a front dana and grafting them onto the rear axle.
Have you bought a kit from the us, or are you using a different rear end, sounds like an interesting project, got any pics :-)

Just finished new workshop (Planning thinks its a garage) next to house 11 mtrs by 6.5 mtrs in catholic or 35ft x 22ft meant be for all woodworking machines but keeping space so can get YJ in.
YJ project in progress next month: J20 axles, flat top knuckles with cross over steering, hydro assist, six inch extend to rear and maybe spring over with waggy springs to get 4 more inches length. Bead locks and 37 maxxis.
If I get done by summer then I've got a 383 small block to slot in front of the NV3500 with Dana 300 and Klune underdrive that I've been running for 18 months but that is a long way off a the moment. Will still run LPG.... oh yes...!

im just skimming the heads a little to get the compression ratio up, anyone know how much to skim stock heads to get 11:1 ish?

Nosebolt · « **Reply #38 on:** November 06, 2008, 09:54:13 AM »

this should help

first work out what you have, then adjust for skim value to test if it will get desired result, if not try a diff skim amount, lot easier the doing job then trying to add metal back :lol:

if you take too much off then just increase the thickness of the head gasket or base gasket.

Hey mike! do you make knives, :lol:

mikesknives · « **Reply #44 on:** December 12, 2008, 05:55:45 PM »

I keep planning to make my own but I've ended up dealing in handmade and collectable knives instead. One day I will but at the mo I have a little website and travel round to various shows in the summer with a selection of high quality cutlery. I also organise Knives-UK the only knife show in the UK. That I'm afraid keeps me more than busy enough to stop me making any knives especially now I own a Jeep as well :lol:

Cheers

Mike
