1967 jeep gladiator build

[warrpath4x4]

1967 jeep J-3000 gladiator with the 327 vigilante motor, 4 speed, 4x4, 3/4 ton, traded a shotgun for it. it does need a little work but it runs. not 100% sure on the build plan yet but i am happy with the trade.

Very cool. I look forward to seeing it evolve.

Great platform to build upon. 360 or 401?

[flippedXJ]

ooo thats a classic - nice trade I believe you came out ahead on that one

Neither, its an AMC 327 vigilante engine

That got the D60 rear? I know some models had that.

I was told a dana 53 but havnt crawled under it to double check yet

[4.3LXJ]

I am not sure when they started, but I do know from personal observation that some of them had a semifloating D60 in them. Believe ot or not, they even had 53s in some flat fenders

[BlueXJ]

Why not explore the specs and post them up for us jealous folks.

[warrpath4x4]

Yah I will be crawling all over/under/in this thing this weekend. I already picked up some parts today, electric fuel pump, block off plate (looks like a chevy one will work), new fuel filters, upper and lower radiator hoses, oil filter. The bellow inside the fuel pump broke and so its sending gas into the crankcase and oil into the fuel line.

nice finding and good trade. wants to see evolution

[warrpath4x4]

got her up and running today, pulled the mechanical fuel pump and installed the electric one, and a block off plate. just have the fuel pump hooked upto a temporary toggle switch for now, just to get it up and running. it actually runs pretty smooth and feels like it has some power left in her. found out the front driveline is MIA so im hoping theres nothing wrong with the front axle or the transfercase.

i verified the axles are a 44 front and a 53 rear
