I'm yanking that bitch and taking it to Buddy Rice!

and you guys think the trucks eat up mod money...

J-E-E-P...Just Empty Every Pocket

I got a hole it the water to throw money into also.

No Hemi, that would be cool but I'd end up breaking too much shit, axles and what-not!

My wife is just barely tolerating this little endeavor, I'm not gonna push it.

Engine came out yesterday and is at Buddy Rice Pro Engine Shop.
Radiator is at A1 here in Edmond to get worked over.
My HEI came in yesterday and my new flex-plate should be here today or Monday.

Time to put together the list of misc. parts for the install.

Everything should be ready in about two weeks...WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!
