edit 4/24/2011: I'm beginning work in earnest on this project, and turning this into a build thread.
Here we go again!
I haven't dragged them home yet, but I've agreed to buy this pair of '89 RT4WDs
I'm not positive whether I'll be able to get a clear title, but my hope is to make one car from the two. The first one is manual, the other is automatic. Neither has an engine, but I have a DOHC ZC waiting. If I decide it's too much hassle, look for a BIG partout thread
The auto one is pretty rough
but it has the pieces that the nicer, 6spd one needs.
Needs some serious TLC, but I ain't skeered
even has the OE caps hiding under these hideous covers

i need a place to work on cars so i can do that too.
next project....
im in for the build....
between having a beer...
or two..
1 + 1 = more
1,2, uhmm many?
You are the only one I believe can do it right
Please!
Camper? I don't know...I rarely repeat myself, and a good half of the camper project was making the towing car capable. On top of that, I'd be scared to death of the liability of someone else towing one around. I've spooked myself a couple of times with it, and I don't scare easily.
Truck? It's intriguing, but now you guys are expecting it :shock:
Then there's the 1968 F250 I want to finish up....
Get em and sell me the tranny, shifter cables and shifter box out of the 6 speed!
RTAWD?
Do It!!!
I would...
ummmmm, why do you think I'm buying them :P
I'm ready to "boldly go" again...
I will be parting out alot of stuff, but probably after I get the project figured out. 3 cars into one, there's bound to be scraps!
He's got an LS swap, Kyle.
Just building and installing the d16z6 and JRSC would be no problem in that timeframe, but I have a few other tricks up my sleeve. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag yet, as some unforeseen snag may make what I'm trying "undoable".
I have a few questions already. I'll ask them here and hopefully not clutter up the site with new threads:
I've looked around and read that the oil pan on the RT is different, relieved for the transfer case. Can someone show me a picture of that pan? I probably will notch the z6 sump, would like to see what the real thing looks like.
will it fit a z6?
