Biscuit Progress – Bump and Steer

• CATEGORIES: Biscuit, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-david-jeep1For the last few days I’ve been in Seattle taking advantage of the nice weather to get some work done on Biscuit. Fortunately there weren’t too many ‘sonny-do’ projects, so I had a chance to get right to work.

First, I tackled the custom bracket I made for the transfer case. You might remember that I installed Dana 18 gears into a Dana 20 (a good way to improve the gearing) and turned the single Dana shifter into a dual shifter. When I built the bracket, I designed it to fit alongside the TH 350. I didn’t know it wouldn’t fit right against a T-18.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-transfercase1

As you can see, the side of the shifter bracket tong sits against the transmission. There was no room to attach a bolt on the backside of the tong.

Since the shifter bracket is more functional then beautiful, I reused most of the parts. I simply cut off the old tongs, welded them onto a plate, and welded the plate back onto the bracket.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-transfercase2

Not pretty, but works.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-transfercase3

The ‘finished’ bracket with some primer on it. You can just see the bolt that I welded to the back side to make it simpler to bolt the shift levers into place.

Next, since the transfer case sits slightly lower than it did before, I created a new side bracket. I made a template out of aluminum. To build the bracket I took a piece of an angle I had around the garage, cut it, and bent it into the shape of the template. Again, it’s nothing pretty, but gets the job done.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-transfercase4

Transfercase side support with primer on it (so it would photograph better).

As I explained in a post a couple weeks ago, while I was puling apart my jeep I discovered that the powersteering was rotating slightly as I spun the steering wheel. That’s a problem! So, I dedicated the last few days to fixing that problem and changing the way the front bumper connects.

The basic problem was that the stock power steering mount unit only used three of the four holes to attach the steering unit. Therefore, I planned to add a cross piece to provide a place for a fourth bolt to attach. However, that meant I had to cut the plate on top so the bolt could be attached and removed. And, since I was doing that, I figured I would change the way the bumper attached.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-powersteering1

The white arrow shows how the unit was rotating to the driver’s side.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-powersteering2

This arrow demonstrates where the power steering needed to attach.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-powersteering3

Here I’ve removed the bracket from the frame to provide a better look at it. This is the stock bracket from a 1973 CJ-5.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-powersteering4

This shows the cross brace I made from 1/2″ steel.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-powersteering5

Next up was the alternation of this top piece. You can see the outlines I’ve scratched into the plate.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-powersteering6

Using a cutting blade and a saws-it-all I removed chunks of the plate.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-powersteering7

Now it’s looking a little better.

Next off came the bumper:

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper1

The length of the bumper in from of the jeep annoyed me a little. So, I wanted to remove a couple inches.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper10

The frame rail on the left has been cut back so the plate can fit snuggly over the custom front shackle. The far right frame rail has not been cut back yet.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper2

In order to bolt the bumper on to the front of the jeep, I created a set of flat plates and drilled some initial holes into them. The plates are tall so that I can weld a cross piece on to them. The cross piece will allow me to properly position the holes in the bumper with the holes in the plates.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper3

I clamped the new plates with the cross bracket onto the bumper so I could drill the holes. (for the pics I removed the clamps.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper4

With the bumper holes drilled, I can how set threads into the brackets.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper5

This is another view that shows the brackets, the cross piece and the tap at the far end.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper6

These are the brackets cut down and tapped. I had a little problem threading the hole on the lower right, which is why it doesn’t look quite right. It works fine though. I have also ground down the sides to make it easier to weld and fill the plates to the end of the frame.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper7

This show the plates welded and cleaned up on the end of the frame.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper8

This is a top view.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-bumper9

This shows the bumper attached, everything painted, and the power steering affixed to the new and improved bracket. 

With those projects out of the way I turned my attention to the engine I bought from Daryl last summer. I discovered the motor has stock bores. The pistons appeared cleaned, but never run. The engine looks like it was rebuilt, but never run. The spark plug ends are clean and shiny.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-david2

Me checking out the motor. It came without an intake manifold.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-engine1

With the head pulled I was relieved to see clean cylinders. Then I noticed there was no build up at all on the gaskets.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-engine2

The tops of the pistons showed they weren’t new, but they appeared to have been scrubbed cleaned.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-engine3

The underside of the heads show no carbon and the plugs look unused.

Given the engine looks unused, I’m not going to attempt to rebuild it. Instead, I’m going to run it as it is and focus resources on properly rebuilding my other motor (with its new heads and updated cam) later this year. In the meantime, I can run with this motor and focus on getting the other parts I need to get Biscuit running. Since they are both Buick V6s switching out motors at some future date won’t take very long.

Lastly, I thought you might enjoy seeing the welder I’ve been using. Dad tells me he got this Montgomery Ward classic as a hand-me-down from a local jeep builder (Al Carrol) in the late 1960s. It’s still works real well.

2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-welder1 2014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-welder22014-jeep-rebuild-may-june-welder3I hope to return later this month to complete some more work. I will be updating the front brakes to discs. Thanks to R&P for the brake kit! I’m also hoping to have all the parts to install the drive train. Here are a few more parts I’ll be adding to the mix:

  1. Holley 390 carb (i have a kenne belle intake)
  2. Clutch kit & pilot bushing
  3. Brake Calipers for the new disc brakes
  4. Brake power CJ-7 unit with proportioner
  5. Bushings for my new rear emu springs (thanks to Mitch at ARB for helping out with those)
  6. Possibly a different set of headers (am waiting to see what I can find online)

So, stay tuned!

A Few Additional Notes

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Only the one update (above) today. Since it is my birthday, I’m taking the day off.

On another note, four readers have emailed me saying that eWillys appears offline to them (and has for several days). Three of the four are from outside the country. My web host made some firewall changes and that might be the root cause. If you know of anyone his having troubles, have them email me. We are trying to determine just how many people are affected.

Interestingly, Pascal noted that he tried to use Google from Canada to locate the site and eWillys didn’t appear in his results. So, something strange, but limited, seems to be happening.

1951 M-38 Mardela, MD $13,100

Mark posted this converted M-38 at war jeeps.com.

” M38 1951 Military Jeep/Converted to look like a Willys WW2 Jeep

WORKS GREAT NO PROBLEMS !!!!
This is the perfect Jeep for the WW2 reenactor or someone who wants a dependable vehicle for parades or for 4×4 mudding.

I was told this is a rare Jeep as not many were made. Compared to the Willys WW2 Jeep.

This vehicle is a Willys 1951 M38 Military Jeep with a repro grill, hood, and windshield and new canvas to make it look like a Willys WW2 jeep has black out lights on dash, rarely used since reconditioned.

Gas tank has been relined so no rust, battery has been converted so its modern 12 volt not vintage, fuel pump runs great carburator has been rebuilt, new metal gas line, new distrubutor, new radiator, new tires no wear cylinoid starter was put on it so it starts right up.

Canvas alone is worth $1000.00 you get the top and windshield cover from Beechwood canvas .
The M38 was faster more robust than the willys and can 4×4 better. The transmission is better too.
It was rebuilt painted and has turn signals added so you can drive around safely. No rust inside and out.

Other mechanical things were done to it to make it run flawlessly.
It was redone electronically so it functions like a modern car you really can’t tell the differnce when you look at the engine unless your a jeep fanatic.
The points were taken out and replaced by a computer chip for faster start up and less tune ups.”

There’s still some work to be done.

Ok, lets try it again, I got stubborn with the previous $5000 because I was just going to finish the little things myself but have decided it needs to go!!

I am selling my rare 1945 cj2a. Just finished a complete repaint and was done very nice, new gauges and dash plates as well as all new cables. New windshield glass. New hood hold downs. New battery. New race lap belts. New led tail lights. 

Has a full roll cage, I have the original style seats as well as aftermarkets that were there when I bought it. 

Axles are dana 44 and dana 30. Ohhh….. It has a Chevy 350 mounted to a turbo 350!!! Dana 20 t case. Has tranny cooler. Aftermarket rear gas tank. 
Front driveshaft is not hooked up and will need a joint shaft or clock the t case. 

Running open headers right now. Sounds incredible. 

Things that will need to be done to complete….
Bolt rest of cage
Tranny pan gasket has a leak
Mount battery under seat. 
Wire lights/ turn signals if u want
Full Exhaust if you want
Mount original passenger seat or use the other ones

Those are the reasons priced so aggressive so already factored in the price. 
Jeep is registered and good to go!!
