I think the cylinder operates a lever inside the bellhousing and that rides on that bushing... you'll see when you pull the tranny back a bit.

The following pictures are a clear demonstration of my influence on friends... back in 1986 I moved next to this guy. Back then he was a simple Volvo loving collector with about 10 or so Volvos. He became involved with me on a few engine swaps and customization of Full Size Jeeps... well... the pictures tell the Full story... :) http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/Toms-collection-Aug-2003/ (recommend the animated gif if you have a fast connection, it's about 6 Meg. ;) http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/Toms-collection-Aug-2003/8-17-03-animated.gif I didn't show pictures of the MG Magnette, the multitude of B series Volvos, or all of the Willys, or of the 401 Javelin... He only wants $1,800 for the Javelin... very tempting... Nothing there is really all that great, everything needs a lot of work... Of course the gears are turning... if I get the Golden Eagle J10 and mate the willys box and my J10 fenders I can create another Stepside... :) The pictures will take a while to upload. And yes, everything is for sale pretty much. My buddy is realizing that unless he lives to 200 he'll never finish all the projects represented by the sampling of pictures I took. :) He is out in the sticks. For a price I'll disclose his secluded location and negotiate the deal. ;) Actually if you buy it you'll keep it from showing up at my house, and that, quite realistically, will be a significant payment. :) FWIW, there are at least 3 of these FSJs and one Dodge that were one time mine. One or two of the white Wagoneers, the blue dodge (not shown?), the burned out J10 and possibly another one... Like I said, I had an influence on him. :) And he on me. :) BTW, he's got an '86 XJ there with a 2.8L V6 for free... he's even got a trailer and a tow dolly so if you want a free XJ, let me know. I'll ask for my friend that you cover his fuel costs to deliver it. :) One thing I haven't had a chance to influence my friend with, and that's Mercedes Diesels... We went over to his house in my son's XJ, he hasn't seen my latest Benz yet... If he does, I'm sure you'll start seeing those show up over there too... Oh yeah, I may be helping him drag two FC's home next weekend... an FC170 and an FC150. My guess is they'll be in as good as condition as everything else there... :( I do have some thoughts about the Golden Eagle J10 though, so I've got rights of first refusal. ;) Haven't had time to talk to my son about going in together with him on it. When he started talking about rhino chaser grille and then bashing down trees I kind of dropped the topic. ;) john - ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.WAGONEERS.com/ Snohomish, WA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold...

I posted a couple of pics of the Pickle Gulch run on my webshots site in the HCP4x4 friends4 folder at http://community.webshots.com/user/aaronstorms. Hope the new Jasper motor works out OK for you and that your coolant bottle hangs in there, but at least you have a spare now. I'm sure this list would be interested in knowing exactly what happened to your old stroker motor when you get a chance to tear into it eventually. Let me know what you think on our website deal as well - can't wait to see what you come up with. Talk to you soon, Aaron Aaron Storms High Country Performance 4x4 303.761.7379 aaronstorms-at-hcp4x4.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 21:51:04 -0500 From: Jeff Subject: xj: link to Holy Cross pics from this past July Here is a link to some pics I took of Sean and My trip up Holy Cross Jeep trail this past July.

It has been hit in the front left corner, but will provide all the brake parts that I need to covert my 91 Limited from ABS to standard brakes. It has 104K on it and is an automatic. If anyone is looking for parts please contact me direct at mpeterse1-at-mchsi.com. I am located in Davenport Iowa so pick up on anything large would be best.
