Haines Garage 1946 CJ2A Build

[Haines Garage]

I have had in my possession 6 Different Intake manifolds. All have been cracked. I know exactly where to look for them, but somehow, i still manage to purchase more bad junk! Here is a soak in "the works" after I soaked it and washed it off found it completely cracked. I do have "The Man" on this problem for me....So I worry not, just want to show some cool soaking pics.

Bubba...I got the chain Drive!!!

For those that don't know what that means, My brother picked up my engine for the build for me from the machine shop. If you look in cultural differences, you will understand That was his phone announcement. The shop is close to his house and we were working together the next day.

I had the block dip tanked and checked for cracks. Imagine this!! There were some ;D. It was repairable however. Thank God. I had the machining done and the crack pinned.

Clean , Clean , Clean....When I rebuild this, I will start a Thread on how to rebuild an L134 CORRECTLY! OOOOHHHH Did he just say that....Yes I did

I Scrubbed the block to death , even after the dip tank deal, and air dried it with compressed , filtered air.

Primed and painted with Dupli-Color engine enamel. Here are some pics BEFORE....For you numbers guys...check out the markings

[Haines Garage]

Primer..........

DEAD CLEAN. when you think your block is clean, clean it 2 more times ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

This was the head with the chain drive...unribbed, this is a crying shame Its in the scrap heap now, just thought people would like to see it.

[Haines Garage]

Still wondering what is the OCD,,,,Shimmster???

The head I will be using was from Grandpas engine...It is ribbed, it was checked, decked and wasn't a wreck ;D ;D

Again Clean, Clean, Clean

And If you believe that.....I got's some ocean front property...

[Deleted]

I didn't get that refrence then I watched Scott's link. I think I'm done jeeping now.

[Deleted]

A Chevette??? Now you're talking off road capability right there, Bubba. (In my younger days I wheeled a Beautiful rebuilt from a wreck 4 door Chevette. What a sweet ride. Shoulda seen it on the autocross course.)

Of course I was already versed in the art of driving such high speed rocket ships, having owned several Pinto station wagons in college. All that started when I sold a 74 Bronco to a dude who traded in a Pinto wagon in it.


Hijack over, now back to the build.....

[Haines Garage]

See...Fbill called me Bubba....It's not always a bad thing. (See Cultural differences )

Back to the build...

[Deleted]

I think bill has been sampleing the air dryer alcohol , autocrossing with a chevette, everyone knows the Pinto is King of the roadcoarse, dragstrip ect. ;D

Lee

[Deleted]

You strip the interior out, add 4 sticky tires, a crazy driver, and you never know what might happen, Lee. I will admit the Pinto pickup truck I ran for a while in 81-2 was quite the treat to watch on the autocross course....That too was severely lightened.

[Haines Garage]

My first car was a 71 Pinto.....and it lets just say,well sucked!
This build thread is like being in the garage working with your buddies, thats what I like, talking smack and turning wrenches
