Not sure where to put this, so Ill just make a new thread for it.

I was at the U Pull and Save off 76 and saw a couple things people might want.
1. Drivers drop lb D44 out of a '86? FS Cherokee. Looked complete minus the steering, had drive slugs on it.
2. Super charged 3.8 out of a Pontiac Grand Am?

The Jeep was one row to the right from the entrance, in the front. The Pontiac was in the far back left corner with the engine pulled sitting in the isle.

Figured someone might be wanting a D44 or supercharger.

That D44 will be a low pinion unit.

Derp. LB should have been a LP. :doh:

Is the 3.8 a front wheel drive engine?

Yup. Non-traditional motor mount castings in the block..... meant to be mounted transversely.

I saw a DS drop, HP D-44, under a leaf sprung F-250. It was complete from lock to lock, even had a (for-real!) flat top knuckle on the passenger side. Somebody took the front leaf springs; brake lines are the only thing connecting it to the truck.

Where's this at mike? I'll go snag it.

Go git-em Chad! Take something to remove the steering and you should get out for around $150.

BTW, it's under a '77.

I saw a couple of the elusive shift bezels that Flores posted about.

Here is the real hen's tooth! This is the third, and nicest set of these I've seen, EVVVVVVVERRRRRRRRRR!

The other two sets make this one look pristine.

There was this '97 with an aftermarket bumper. It also had a spacer and shackle lift.

Not much else to get excited about, unless you like carburated Fords.

Although, I did see a D-44/9-inch combo under a '77 F-150.

Nope, Edelbroke carb, intake and valve covers.

Don't you get a rash from looking at Ford parts???

Now that I heard back from somebody else...

If I know you are on the hunt for something, I just might give you a heads-up before the rest of the world knows about it.

Hey Mike,

Where'd you see that 44/9 combo?

Those NA Orvis Edition ZJs were just hideous. The XJ on the other hand...

I don't know what the dealio is with that green leather, but it doesn't age for shite!

Two years after my bud brought his ZJ home, I see a set of seats to match. Tan, cream, gray, and black, all fare better than that stupid green.
