360 upgrade

x2, glad he is taking an interest in your project. When you get it ready to start up the first time have him be the one to turn the key. He will remember it always.

 

Not a “him” …

 

Oh my, please ask her to accept my apology, I did not have on my glasses when reading the forum last night. My Youngest daughter was always right by me when working on the jeep or the motor cycles she loves that that jeep. She got her first ride in it, home from the hospital when she was born. She got her first driving lesson in it too. When she got her first car she wanted a straight shift. I said why not an automatic? She said ''you kidding I could not drive one of those things". The jeep restore I am beginning to do is for her, she wants to keep the jeep in the family. So she and the grandkids will will inherit it.

 

No worries. It’s admittedly not the most feminine picture. Have a great Thanksgiving!

 

Maybe not, but it would make a great Carhartt ad.

 

The 304 -> 360 swap is done. Coming from a well-worn (really worn) 304, to a healthy 360 w/an Edelbrock intake and 4bbl carb is a dramatic improvement. I never felt like the 304 wasn’t enough power but this is nice. I had intended to stick with my Motorcraft 2 barrel but the adapter I bought left huge air leaks. I had the Edelbrock on hand so I cleaned it up and used it - it was easier than swapping the intake and quicker than ordering another adapter. I’m a happy camper.
