Wiring
Actually using the original wiring harness and things from the jeep. The 355 is brand new/re-done. It was bored 30 over with a mild cam, eldebrock intake manifold, etc. I am running a street rod header on one side and a ram horn manifold on the other due to the steering box. As far as ignition, trying to using the original jeep wiring with an Accel HO HEI. The problem I am experiencing now is there is a dummy key switch and the ignition just keeps turning. I tried to hook the ignition up similar to what it was before but nothing has panned out as of yet. Transfer case is an NP241 from a 3/4 chevy truch. Rebuild. The axles are the original dana 44 in the rear and 30 up front. I will be swapping gear sets once everything is done, possible 60 in rear and 44 up front. The transmission is a bulletproof 700R4 built to handle 1000 hp and is freshly built as well.This will be carberated for now but may run TPI sometime down the road. Cooling is a ***** and is just mocked up for now using a stand-alone transmission cooler and the original jeep radiator for now. Just trying to get this thing running correctly and then having the drive shafts made. I am going to try to run a long-arm lift once everything is on and running correctly.
So all in all, I think all the wiring I need help with is the ignition. The original guages in the car besides the tac and speedo (oil, temp) have been modified to work with the original fittings.
