Thats not a 5.0, its an AX-15!!!! You do realise you don't need any adapters to put one of those in an XJ right? They came in them stock.

Now quit rescuing MallCrawlers and get to work on the rig.

Mall crawlers bwuahahaha. Oh man good thing Dutch caught that before you spent a bunch of money. You may wanna get a motor to put in front of that? Just my .02




Sorry. I'm dying from trying to dig mason out of the trench he is digging himself. Needed some humor

 

[Stang5lgt]

Clutch will be here on Thurs. So I can get the motor going next week. Fri, Sat, and Sun I will be in Iowa.

 

[DutchVDub]

Bring me back some corn and soy beans.

Have a safe trip man.

 

[Stang5lgt]

Ok soy beans are nasty...

 

[in4aride]

Ya have a safe trip sweetie pie :gee::wave1:

Picked up the clutch tonight. Here are some pics. The asshats at Autozone sent me 10 inch pressure plate. Didn't notice until I pulled it from the box when I got home. Of coarse they are closing in 5 mins so no time to go back and b#tch. 88 Chevy 1/2 ton clutch disc

 

[in4aride]

That sucks. Can you order right one while your go e so you get it once your back?

 

[Stang5lgt]

I don't know. I will have to see tomorrow. I should just buy the whole clutch set and return it with the wrong pressure plate.

 

[in4aride]

Lol that NEVER happens. Especially in a shop. Lol.

Got the right pressure plate. I have to install my new garage door tonight. My old masonite door previous owner smashed it. And about the second week I lived here the one the torsion springs snapped. So I grabbed a new door at Menards back in Iowa. Door is sweet. 16x7 steel backed 1 3/8s poly insulated with a 12.9 R-value on sale for 599, plus since it is energy star door I get a 30% tax credit back on my taxes. So that knocked door down another 180 and under the price of the vinyl backed door with 6.3 R value. I think I am going to look into new windows and doors to get the energy credit for those too. I hope they open a Menards here soon. Just opened one in Casper WY within the last year. They will give Depot and Lowes a run for there money.
