Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda
So the month of June was crazy for me. And now its mid July and I have so much to share. (pictures to come)
I have the following new parts in my possession...
-K-Member
-Adjustable Upper and Lower Control arms
-Coil Over Shocks
-Power steering Rack (15 to 1 ratio)
-Steering Arms to move steering forward of K-Member
-Loose Metal to build clamp on Motor Mount
After much looking into it, I have decided to follow the pack and run wilwood brakes on 73+ spindles. Not the path I wanted, but didn't have much of a choice at this time.
So I am looking for a set of 73+ spindles and rotors so that once I install the new K Frame and suspension, the car can sit on the ground again. Afterwards I will start working on the fabrication for getting the engine in.
I am so hoping to have this engine/tranny setup in and engine starting by the end of the summer. May miss the deadline, but making a effort.
If anyone in the Western Wa area has a set of Knuckles, I am interested. I have found them NEW on Jeg's, but not in a position to fork out the $500 (if I recall correctly) for the pair which has prevented me from installing the new setup.
Keep everyone posted.
John
