Went to All Breeds Jeep Show in York, PA with e_hall. Had a blast. And cleenrob, congrats. We found a LS swap in an XJ that looked factory today.

NICE....sounds killer. You'll get it worked out.

I remember when I put the stroker in, I didn't fire it until everything was back in place. Fired right up. Great feeling. Nice work, sir.

Now go drink some beer,

Thanks for your concern but, Actually the area has two layers of steal molded together. I figure the shock really doesn't support the vehicle but just softens the motion of the action of the axle. I took a bfh to it to try and break it loose. It's not going anywhere.

Well, over the last few days...

Replaced the lower radiator hose with a used one in good condition, and replaced the CPS with a new MOPAR unit... unfortunately, not the change I was hoping for in the way it runs. I noticed a "whistling" under acceleration, so I may be looking at a vacuum leak - so I bought some new vacuum lines and fittings. We'll see how it works.

Updated the thread with more pics and stuff.

All wired up and lighting up the world!
