I need to get back at my 100 year old bathroom restoration. I quit when the weather got hot. But first I need to get this rebuilt 4.0 engine back in to the Jeep.. Hopefully I can finish before serious winter sets in. Then I can work indoors.

1) I have pulled the shorties off of the car to build long tube headers over the next couple of weeks.
2) Figure out where to send them to get them ceramic coated. Reinstall with QA1 upper control arms off of the Regal.
3) Finish up building the TH400.
4) Pull the engine and replace coolant weeping copper head gaskets.
5) Put it all back
6) Figure out which nitrous kit to purchase and install with tax return.
7) Consider changing to 2.75 or 2.50 rear gears.
8) 6 point roll cage?

Gonna rebuild the T56 in my Camaro.
As of June something happened and since then I miss 3rd a lot. Not a syncro issue, the shifter just ends up in no man's land. Only thing I can figure is a bent fork or non-existent pads. It's getting the brass syncros upgraded to the carbon style, billet keys, bronze fork pads, steel 3-4 fork, and anything else it needs. The Auburn diff is going in the trash and getting replaced with something that doesn't suck. Also going to try adding a half degree of negative camber out back. Hopefully that gets me a little bit more speed for next year.

Now that you've warmed up with some early storms, have you been able to launch any deer into hitting the mailboxes yet?
Bet clutch can launch a deer carcass into a mailbox with that beast k30 when plowing...
None yet, they all are just leaving a mess we got to pick up. But I did launch a raccoon that cleared the guide rail but not a tree next to it.
