Resurrecting the Rambler

Pinballer · 11-14-2016, 06:51 PM

Heading into winter, it looks like it's time to turn my energy towards locating some parts and building an engine that will have all the correct NHRA numbers on it they need.
I was fortunate to score a whole '79 258 Jeep engine that has the correct head in place, (but not the right intake), and also had a friend who picked up an intake with the right numbers on it and is saving it for me out in Ohio, so I've now got enough pieces located to start constructing one correct engine. I'd like to get another set of parts to build a backup engine later on, so I'm still searching for one more head with the right number on it. Got plenty of blocks and cranks and rods, so it's just a matter of getting all the important "romance" pieces bought and put into it and a ton of machine work done.
I see money leaving right now at a furious pace...
