Can't wait to see the finished product, also missed you on the last couple of cruises the club took this year, kind of lonely being the only 71-73 in the group!

They used the inner pieces. Thanks again for the help with that.
Probably not gonna get much else done with it until after the holidays.

Very nice work!
Rolled it outside and washed the body shop funk off. Also simple green'd the underside of the hood and engine bay. Much better...

Looks like the shop did a very nice job on the front ::goodjob::
Lunch update. Well, it is a 4 bolt main CJ. It looks like it has a melling HV oil pump, a double roller timing set, and it has been apart. The rods and caps are stamped with cylinder numbers, and the balance pads look to have been touched up.
It doesn't have a CJ oil pan however.
It is supposed to be 0.030 over, but the pistons have a Ford oval case into them, and I saw a D0VE too... Did Ford offer service replacement 0.030 over pistons? Or does it maybe have factory slugs? The crosshatch on the cylinders is still fairly fresh looking. They guy who built the car had family with a ford dealer, so maybe service parts are a possibility.

Crank is STD/STD. Starting to think Robby's definition of "rebuilt" differs from others...
Bought some insurance with ARP nuts for the rod bolts.

Lookin good!
Decided since the bottom end is in great shape, to go ahead with plan A and swap the quench heads on, and hydraulic roller cam in.
