Build Frog's FJ159

[A10Driver]

Going on a work trip, will be back at it end of January

IMHO, right.

The right is called burnt copper. It's a little more bling than I would like but sticks like crazy. A little Arizona dust will hopefully get rid of the bling

We're talking about what color to paint valve covers in Hardcore now?



This looks like it will be a cool build!

KDP complete, good thing as the pin was completely loose and ready to fall out. Gears all looked new so pretty excited about that

Valve covers painted extra hardcore for cruisermatt, front timing cover, main seal, and KDP complete. Next rear main seal, oil pan and new clutch and engine will be ready to install

Got locktite, thinks it needs lockwashers as well?

Engine is 1/4 inch aft on the driver's side. Is that worth cutting out mounts and realigning? Driveshaft ujoints able to handle 1/4 inch. Please advise
