hmm i need a new turbo and maybe an engine ahhwell never mind

Bubba · « **Reply #11 on:** September 16, 2007, 11:42:37 AM »

after a bit of a poke around it would seem the turbo is shot but the engine i think is fine but on the up side i have managed to get a fresh engine for a shade over a 100quid so i will swap turbos over and see how we go from there i have put off fitting a snorkel till now as they dont make them for cjs but i will now have to make somthing :rolleyes:

put it in the boot that way you can nose in and revese out if it looks too deep, you know when it goes over your wipers.

yesters i managed to get the scrambler fired up from its summer rest and shep came over to sort out some tin worm isues and some body damage from our last escapade [dangrous bros again] made a start on repairing wheel studs and axel just aswell as it seems the gt has a broken rear shaft and shagged diff bearings still driving it at the mo as its the only thing mobile good things them no slip lockers :wink:

Bubba · « **Reply #16 on:** December 20, 2007, 05:46:52 PM »

update time the scrambler is now back on the road after a bit yuri geller style metal magic from shep he was a bodyshop dude before he let his hands go soft
i made rather a nice job shotgunning the new paint half a side and rear quarter so all that was left was repair the rear Axel brakes and studs remove the truckcab fit full soft top and refit out with seats and seatbelts for six and then it was mot time
and whoopee doo it passed first time that was 3 weeks ago and i am surprised now at how much i have missed it its a tool an i love it its just a great combo of a v8 and auto and it just makes me want to get the other scrambler built up and on the road
but there is a dilemma do i go v8 360 or 401 or 258 super six i call it that cus its a fully rebuilt 4.2 with twin choke webber conversion a hipo hei dizzy and its very sweet and not to thirsty
that would still leave me with a v8 auto cj7
and my turbo diesel cj7 the [gt] unless i sell it which is also a dilemma sell it to help fund my other jeeps or keep it to subsidize the running costs of the others as will clear 35 to the gallon but there again it yet another truck to keep on top of

so folks if you were me working on no budget with just spanners and good looks to get you by what would you do

MOCAJ · « **Reply #17 on:** December 20, 2007, 05:51:19 PM »

nice to hear the scramblers back on road

as for the other trucks, too many choices makes too many ££££££ :?

i aint got no money but i got a stock of parts a some savvy

'Cos I love tinkering with engines (never finish them, just put them on a stand and play!), I'd say you've got to do something with that 401. Either put it in a CJ or start a basic rebuild / tune on it ready for the future or to sell on - Do you think it'll fit in an XJ :twisted:

Bubba · « **Reply #20 on:** December 21, 2007, 04:17:12 PM »

its poorly and in a cj7 at the mo so it has to come out and be lavished upon at the mo engine wise i have got 2 360s a 401 and 2 258s not counting the 304 in me scrambler
