Ford - Jeep Hybrid Coming Soon!

Guess what I am doing now.....I got a hold of a t-90 and D-18 from a willys jeep....They are going behind my ford turbo motor with a centerforce clutch and novak adapter. I am rebuilding both trans and transfer case right now. It will sit in my zuk body and I will have to make more shafts to mate to the international front end and ford 9 rear.

Are you gonna use the stock ebrake on the D18? If not, could be a way to shed some pounds. I can't remember how to bypass that though.

Sounds cool.

When you get done you can call it an AMC

the d-18 I got doesnt have an e-beake on it.

You're ready to roll then. Post pics as you go along.

Will do. I just got done with the tranny....Damn! has anyone done an oldie like that? The bearings are all just needles. They have no retainers. The jack shaft had 72 needles that I had to get inside of it, lower it in the case, and slide the pin thru it. I had to make 4 special tools just to do that.

Here is a pic of one set of needles and my special tool on the cluster gear. This was 22 out of 72 needles.

Looking good man. Those needles are a huge pain.

They were intimidating at first but after going thru my s**** metal I was able to devise 3 tools to help with the needle bearing issue.

Been Working hard. Got the transmission and transfer case rebuilt and ready to install.

Another look. I had custom flanges made so I can still use the samurai mounting pattern on the drive shafts.

Here is a look with the 1974 ford pinto bell housing. I actually found one in the pick-n-pull in grand prarie.

Been working on motor stuff also. I ported the upper and lower intake for the turbo motor. I gutted the upper and ported into a point the lower. This will allow more airflow without obstruction.

Here is the gutted upper intake. Grinding out aluminum is hard. Nothing like steel. It sticks to the cutting bit like glue. Even with that 30 dollar bit.
