Team NAXJA/Petty Cash Racing stock class KOH XJ build

If you tighten up the diff cover bolts at the remote pit, they'll make it to the finish even though the tubes are separated.

LOL....pretty much.

Slow updates over the next few days.

We dropped a Tera HP60 rear in. Its stuffed with a Yukon Competition Zip locker, 5.38 gears and yukons much stronger than spicer yoke. We upgraded from 1310 to 1350 joints as well. Looking forward to beating on this!

Yesterday we installed the one and only Iron Rock FF-Road Tera HP60 rear truss. Its a lot like their dana 44 truss, but matches a cardboard template travis had sitting around..

Holy crap. I think you've said too much...

 

[XJLI]

thats not a factory transfer case....

Does that yoke have the full cap retaining rings or just the tabs?
I bought one for my rear 60 years ago with the full retaining rings and it is(and has been) a great yoke but more recently bought the same part number and it was some cheap pot metal Chinese made garbage with the tabs. I sent that one back. Just wondering if Yukon still sells the nice one.

Pinion angle looks great at full droop, but how is it at ride height?

(I know you know what you're doing, but I have forgotten dumber things than this. :doh

I liked the old truss better. It made a happy smile axle!!!

Its just got a tab, but is still far nicer than the Spicer unit.

I'd like one with a full retainer too..

So we replaced our engine too... The 4643 Power Plant MK III.

I give you the Mark III:

Meet the maker..

Our usual roller rockers on a Russ Masterpiece Head (tm).

To let this fiery bitch breath, Russ set us up with a port matched intake manifold.

To get from A to B and then C, the mad scientist had to open up our gaskets quite a bit.

Here too!

The URF guys set us up with a kick-ass Jeepers and Creepers throttle body. I was surprised how much bigger it is than our existing bored throttle body.

Stock butterfly vs the new setup:

A little work to get the new butterfly into the linkage..

All setup to go

 

[cal]

A little grinding on the timing cover to clear our custom belt routing (mix of HO and renix accessories).

A little assembly

Bolt up a new trans from All Automatic Transmission. Has a transgo shift kit and Raybestos upgraded clutches.

Bolt on our trusty Altas II, our Brown Dog motor mounts with new bushings, and stab it all home

Plug a couple of things in, and zoom zoom.

Hard to believe this tie rod has only one race on it. 1.5x.250" DOM..

Just for old times sake.. Lets go back to day 1.

Oh how long ago that seems now. I wonder how much of that car is really left at this point. One inner axle shaft, the back doors, and maybe one driveshaft.

 

[shortxjdoug]

i did not realize from day 1 this has been a renix.....

Yup, running on a stock renix ECU and modified renix tcu.

I've actually got a Jet Stage 1 renix ECU, but nobody at Jet can tell me what it changes, so we're a little afraid to run it.

 

[MoparManiac]

That's some bitchin port work.

i agree, Russ is the man!

Talk to Mark. He has mine and has looked into the instructions.
