I'm trying to decide if I should hold onto the '77 3.0L Diesel in this 300CD. I was thinking of using it in the '58 Willys Wagon, but the 230 I-6 that's in it already is good... and has a lot more power... It'd be nice to have a Diesel Willys... but it'd be a lot of work and fabrication to get it all working... when what I've got already works... The Turbo Diesel would be a better way of going, either in this Willys or in an XJ... So, should I bother saving the 3.0L Diesel out of the '77 or just let it go? I think both mercedes leave next weekend... john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2005 19:45:27 -0800 (PST) From: jeremi smyers Subject: fsj: 66 wagoneer STILL for sale Well nobody in a month has bought the truck.

I just sold my mercedes projects... may have a 3.0L Diesel engine I could even use... If I pluck it out before it's dragged off... :) Still not sure when I'll bring the Willys Wagon home... may have it painted first... :) kind of excited about this thing... not sure why... http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2005/58willys_.jpg turns out it even has the original engine with it! I've still got a couple of engines floating around left over from other projects scattered all over the state... friend bought my son's '81 wagoneer, a fair 360 could be had for $150... was using or leaking oil... but still... for $350 you'd have a functioning, rust free classic... of course getting body and soul together will take some logistical effort. ;) come on folks... someone needs this wagoneer. :) remember, this thing is emissions exempt in the people's republic of kalifornia... isn't it? of course without an engine it'd have no trouble passing the test... except maybe for the idle speed thing... ;) http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/66wagoneer/101_0033.JPG john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://wagoneers.com ** ** http://freegift.net ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2005 23:05:54 -0800 (PST) From: Karl Streich Subject: Re: fsj: Lube for door hinges I know what you need :D Go down to the local motorcycle shop and get a can of chain lube- it is magic for geting into tight places. It has a carrier so it comes out of the aerosol very liquid and thin since it is designed to penetrate deep into the chain, but it needs to last for thousands of miles, so as soon at that flashes off it becomes extremly tacky, takes only a few minutes, just make sure you don't make a mess with it- stickiest stuff I have ever seen short of glue. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2005 23:30:55 -0800 (PST) From: Karl Streich Subject: Re: fsj: 66 wagoneer STILL for sale Um, why so cheap?
