I am located in raleigh, NC and dont mind driving 4-5 hours to get it. also dont mind shipping it if necessary. thanks!
thanks everyone! my buddies cj is set up just like mine w/howell tbi so it sure makes for a nice 3d manual lol. those pics were taken too early for the beer I guess. ;)
this weekend should be the final push if I can find the water pump pulley studs(or find something that works)
what I have learned so far:
1)it is always alot more money than you originally estimate
2) the importance of labeling and categorizing everything you take off can not be overstated lol
3)how lucky I am to have good, dependable friends!
My buddy Glenn, CJ owner for 15 years and without his help...

I am buying some bulk stainless brake line to replace the lines in the engine compartment. what size does an 84 cj7 use? there is 1/4, 3/16, 5/16 and 3/8 available...my jeep and manuals are an hour away and I forgot to measure before I left.

RE: 2100 Motorcraft carb on 258
sounds good. i have a welder available to me at my fathers house(where the jeep happens to be taken apart) I will either go the route of pre-bent and self install or just do the header/collector and take it somewhere. have to put a cat on it to pass inspection...

I took the body off from firewall forward...
it is the weld markings in a straight line on the rear quarter above the wheel that I want to fill, and probably the old snap holes while Im at it. thanks for the babbit idea, my father can do that for me no problem(or even better teach me how to do it). just want the body in decent looking...
those WS6 T/A's are awesome! my favorite color too ;)
keep the cool vehicle pics coming! I have a 79 Z28 also but it is in restoration mode right now. just found a full quarter panel for the rear I need to have welded in due to accident. I may turn it into a big block firebreathing monster...

under the hood is...
