... Interesting... As I bought a 1953 Dodge Regent four door earlier this year, that may end up with this sized motor ...! Best regards from the mountains of central California ...
Man those 3 windows are the hot ticket. I'd love to own it! I believe that's a 34. The smokers window feature and the dash are typical to 34... butit could be titled as anything. Good vid
I have an 87 grand Wagoneer myself as well as several of the older jeeps you're 100% right about people stopping you. I've actually got to the point where if I'm in a rush or I'm just running out for a quick quick errand I will not take the grand Wagoneer because it always invokes some conversation with somebody about know Their father had one or the grandfather had one or Uncle had one
Great video! Question, when you did the scarebird disc brake kit, what did you do for master cylinder? Did you have to relocate one with a booster and eliminate the mc on the frame rail?
Nice find, Believe it or not, the Grand Wagoneer is my dream car, especially cobalt blue and chromed out. Hard to find a base model these days. Thanks for the walk through.
I also have a 52 Ford it is a custom line I have had it for 51 years I made it a gasser back 1976 , it has a built 390 with 2 750 Holly's and 5 speed stick
Did you have any issues with clearance for your steering? Love what your doing with it! Im planning on building a 1950 Plymouth special deluxe and ive been looking into what engine/transmission to swap into it and im hoping to keep the original steering
Yes. Look at older videos. Moved column straight, swivel joints, 64-66 barracuda power steering exhaust manifolds. A LOT OF WORK. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t. I would look into slant six. No easy swaps in this vehicle.
@@screamnmonkee I'm glad you said that, I just bought 50 Deluxe and was thinking of swapping in a 318 but since you said you wouldn't do it again if you had to, I have a Chevy 250 Inline Six and 4 speed auto trans that came out of a 75 Nova 4 door that was rebuilt a couple years ago and never put into anything that's sitting in my shop, I wonder how hard that swap would be, the 218 that is in the car is missing the head and valve covers, and has been for quite a while according to the guy I bought it from and I know I don't want to fool with it, there's a vintage restoration garage here in my hometown so I think I'll just donate the motor to them, and let the experts mess with it.
The orange wires. Splice off arent fused properly from factor.. fusible links suck. You need to add an inline fuse. Thats the first thing anyone should do. The orange wires on the antidiesel solenoid on the carb throttle those wires in that area tend to shrink and arc off the metal there causing fires. You need to fix your orange wires. And add an 10amp inline fuse. Fusible links just cause fires. You also need to an add a fuse between the alternator and battery. What happens if you get an issue there ? Fire
Just need bulbs, any parts store that match the regular bulb number 1157 or 1156. You just need the color you are wanting, red to stop, not white. No wiring required.
Owed a 1980 model 360 AMC T/Flight in white camel 🐪 interior with floor shift . Man did that thing have a beautiful exhaust note love these wagons 👍🏻🇦🇺.
Make sure your get a relay and a fuel pressure gauge. The gauge will help with diagnosing issues. I found the wire that is hooked to the solenoid on the carb gives power for start and run.
I may have missed it, any benefit to running an HEI distributor with this setup? I also see Holley recommends different plug wires, my system is stock at the moment
I am running stock ignition until it goes bad. I always prefer one thing at a time so your not chasing your tail trying to figure out what’s wrong when it doesn’t start.
