Yes I did lol, took a while to find it with it Stating it was ok for both... the slimline should work fine though! Thanks, tried to keep it not looking hacked but give me plenty of room as well.

Well, here are some engine parts pics... Just sitting around lol
Head all pretty, with mopar performace valves/spacers/keepers ect all rebuilt with 3 andgle valve grind and new valves, painted...


Reconditioned 258(4.2L) rods rings and bearings, just waiting for a home!

I went to the junk yard and traced the unibody for some home made front and rear uni-body stiffeners.... with help from Jmax! His buddy cut them out on a table all pretty for me! there 3/16ths
258 (4.2l) Crank is in the back of this pic, all cleaned up and pretty!


Going to weld these in and stiffen it from front bumper mounts all the way to the rear bumper mounts... Then I'll be done with stiffeners. Also using the Front stiffeners as a plate to weld my trac bar mount to and hang my limit straps from.

I didn't do much today.. but I paid someone to Detail it and make it look all pretty! after about 10 trips and living out of it 3-4 times on those trips It was getting pretty dusty and dirty. So fresh and So clean clean!
