Dont need any machine work done, but i hadda comment on the Stompers. Ive got an Old Orange CJ7 Renegade that I used to play with all the time. I think ive still got it. I dont hink i would have thrown it out. Its got MUCHO sentimental value. Ive also got Two AMC Eagle Stompers. I just hadda have them

Have you ever thought about about copying the Warn spindles or hubs? They're getting a small fortune for these conversions, and they have the market on them. The initial set up would be costly, but once the computer is set up, I think the cost per could be reasonable. Just a thought and probably a waste of your time. Doesn't hurt to ask?

their are soo many improvements to make in this area, tons and lots of sloppy stuff ive seen too! but i will be taking a look into lots this sunday, thanks for the suggestion

How much would you charge to make a carb adapter for a stock amc 4350 4 barrel manifold to a square bore manifold? I'm thinking either alunimum or plastic.
jeepsr4ever
im not sure if i could make them cheaper than edelbrock, i think they sell them for 30 bucks! thats pretty cheap for the machining, but if your interested i could always try
Migzilla
The reason I'm asking is that the only person I've found that makes it is TD performance (aka transdapt) and the only place I can find to buy it is summit and the want 46.99 :shock: which isn't very cheap. It isn't the standard Q-jet spreadbore which is where the problem begins. If you want to see a good example of both the manifold and the adapter plate here a good site.

Well tell me what you think.
jeepsr4ever
i wonder if the adaptor could be made and use countersunk socket head cap screws, could almost measure from 2 separate gaskets, i wonder about that
Migzilla
well i you could make something like this that didn't cost so much. you be doing us a great service. in the current situation you have three choices an new manifold and carb or a adapter and a new carb and last is to stick with what you got.
jeepsr4ever
i will check to see what i have for gaskets and do some thinking this weekend.ok maybe i could make it for $34.........i dunno
Migzilla
what if you used a premade 4 hole carb spacer and honed it out to fit it. then all that you need is the measurement for the manifold holes. Just an Idea I want to throw out there.

I'm looking for an adapter to separate the plenum of a torker manifold (right bank from left bank). Do you think you could make one? I made one myself 15 years ago but no longer have access to a machine shop. I could draw some designs if that would help :lol: .
jeepsr4ever
i can make it if you have a drawing. email it to me or mail it [email]jeepsr4ever@yahoo.com[/email]

Decent Aluminum valave covers. I know the one the 4wd.com sells for 119.99 is ok. But I have been thinking of going with an INDY intake and would need a set with a breather/oil filler. not to mention a hole for the PVC grommit. All the ones I have seen are like 300 bucks. And this is whithout the machine work I would need.

Yup we are going for it in the coming weeks!!! i will send you a pick of the first batch, you can tell me what you think!

NICE, can't wait. Any idea what they are going to cost? Are they going to be high enough to cover a girdle? Or still low profile? The reason I ask, I am thinking of running a gridle with my build as I am running a roller cam.
Keep me posted I am defenetly intrested.

The alternator brackets will bring the alternator up about 7-9 inches and yes the valve covers will be tall...........the alternator brackets will be out first, then the valve covers

I would be interested in a set of QUALITY valve covers as well.
I am very impressed with your other work, and look forward to seeing more of it ans owning some as well! :D
