JUST sold my 88 FB w/5.7L stroker motor and 88 TC rear end swap. Going to miss that car, but with the Disco, I didn't need 2 project vehicles...1 hauls the family, the other does not.

 

ha ha you are so right.....yea my family would have hated my 89 with full roll cage and very stiff coilovers ...oh and no passenger or rear seat!

 

update my motor is out. Removing front cover today to send to Cannibal along with Exhaust manifolds, Harmonic balancer and valve covers ....

 

I called Steve on this past Friday, and my D2 will be ready for collection this Friday.
Hoping all have survived the tornado today, our prayers are with those in the affected area.
Will post pics and comments on Friday once I have collected the truck, I will be driving her home to Myrtle Beach from OKC.( hopefully).
Rod.

 

I spoke to Steve today - they are battered and bruised but ok.....

 

I got a quote of about 7 grand, tops, for a swap of my dead 4.0 for a souped up one, installed and ready to drive. That was a few months ago.

 

I think my motor is finally in transit......yea happy day

 

Good to hear ,
Hope all goes well.
I have been in Djibouti Africa for the past 4 weeks - Camp Lemonnier, and should be home at the beginning of September.
I am taking my Disco to Luke to go over a few things.
Maybe we could catch up and meet.
Cheers
Rod

I got all my seals and gaskets, a 180degree tstat, and a new water pump ready.
Let me know when you are coming down I would like to meet.

I've spent some time in Camp Lemonnier. Being there in Jul and Aug is not ideal, but it beats the hell out of Afghanistan.
