If the engine was rebuilt (and you trust the work). Install the Sniper. Why wait? You already have it.

OME lift on my 60. I went with 33x10.5x15 on a 15x8 alloy wheel. I’m on my third set of that tire size with the same wheels. With the 4 speed it did okay on flat ground. After driving through Colorado (mountains) with a 5 speed… I wish I had 4.11 gears. That being said it depends on what you’re...

Yes it is. See THIS post and THIS post for more info. Very useful mod IMHO

Welcome :flipoff2: <—official IH8MUD welcome Clean rig. I’ll poke the bear here. Why swap to a 5 speed? Auto have issues? I know the drivability with stick and 3FE is awesome. Don’t blame you for changing it, just curious.

This is gonna be good. The first thing I thought in my head was that the front output was on the wrong side and you already done fixed that. Silly of me to think you hadn’t thought of that. I know better J. I promise. Subscribed.

Yeah the float will hang down when holding the assembly as if it were installed. The fuel in the bowl should be halfway. Might need to pull the air horn off and recheck the float gap where it contacts the needle and seat. I used a paper match stick because I remember reading that’s about the...

Are you sure the float isn’t stuck down? I don’t see how those two gaskets would allow a fuel leak. I had fuel dripping like this and as a result my engine would not start because it flooded the engine. Float was full of gas and sunk down which over filled the bowl.

I’m unaware of any internal modifications to install twin sticks.

H-N-L and 2WD-4WD are two separate shift points on the transfer case. The 2WD-4WD pulls a rod/fork that engages the front output. Front to rear of the vehicle shift path. The H-N-L moves a lever on top of the transfer case which selects high and low range (with neutral between). This is a...

I’d be curious to know too. I’d hope it would be the same if not more than the 3FE but I’m probably dreaming.

Definitely looks like it sat for a good while. As for the smell I’m getting a newspaper that’s been soaked in anchovies and left in the crockpot on high. I might be a little off there though lol. What’s a guys next steps?

Need more pics! Any story from the PO why they took it apart? Sounds like they knew the engine was having issues if there are duplicate parts.

They did mine and it’s holding up. Probably been ~10 years ago now.

I remember your build too. What year was it again? 1987? Edit. I looked it up I think. 1986

I just gotta chime in too. I have the flip kits on my 60 and wouldn’t change a thing about them. Got the fronts first and then the rears later. I’ve always loved your 60 rear bumper. I’ve just never had the extra funds to spare. Thank you for everything Dave!
