The WJ 4.7L/ 45RFE/ NP 247 (Quadrive drive II) would pretty
much drop right into a late model GW...  you'll need to
completely rewire... computers out the ying yang...   but
man would that thing be a sweet setup.

This 4.7L motor is sweet, solid and winds up faster than a timex.

It'll hit 5 grand before you can blink...  :)  My passengers often
comment about the fact that it spun up to 5k... oh, I say, I had
just goosed it to get into traffic, never really paid attention, it's
so smooth and quiet...

getting between 13 and 16 mpg in town, with the Amsoil synthetic
oil my freeway mileage is 19.6 mpg or so, before it was only 18.3.

I saw the same gains with Old Blue, he was getting around 11mpg, I
switched to Amsoil and it went up to almost 13mpg... 12.8 or something
like that...

Just waiting on my friend to get his house together.  I know he's
going to do a better job than I am.  I've seen his work.   He has
the patience to exercise the skills.  I can't focus long enough on
one thing to do that good of a job.  :)  While waiting for someone
else isn't easy, it's worth the wait.

I still have that '75 J10 that I was going to turn into a trailer... but
I have two trailers... and I'm thinking that it's too nice to hack up,
so I may start looking for a 6.5L Turbo Diesel driveline...  :)

Of course I don't know why... it's an obsession... I guess I'll build
it and my son will buy it from me...  Seems like everything I buy he
wants. :)  Works out good because then I can still look at the rigs
I like.  :)  I get to see the '77 Cherokee every day and thankful that
I'm not feeding it.  :)

If I only had a large building to keep my projects in... and had
an income coming in from say a lottery winning or something like that... ;)

Hello:

Does anybody know what the capacity of a stock fuel tank from an '89 Grand
Wagoneer is?

Thanks,

I think 20.3gal was standard on all Grand Wagoneers (i.e., '84-91)...
Correct me if anyone knows differently.

I received two of them and was going to ask if you would like me to
forward one of them to you :-).

I have not submitted this to Michael S., or whoever is taking care of
the Invasion site. But I will soon:

SuperKen, Michel B., Phil S. and I are meeting in Reno on Tue.
morning, Aug. 13. Our plan is Salt Lake City by sundown where we'll
hopefully meet the NW FSJ group. We don't have motel reservations in
SLC yet, but we're thinking the Sleep Inn in S. Jordan right off of I-
15.

We leave SLC the morning of the 14th. Nelson Davis will join the
convoy in Provo.

Anyone who comes-up I-15 from Las Vegas is welcome to meet us in
Green River, UT. Probably early afternoon. Then on to Grand Junction
and finally Ouray.

All 4 of us starting in Reno have reservations from the 14-17 at the
Box Canyon Inn. John Meister has reservations at the Best Western. He
is the only one staying there that I am aware of so far.

Anyone planning on going from Central-Northern Calif., S. Oregon or
anyone else from N. Nevada wants to join us email me. And anyone
leading a convoy who can join us anywhere along our route, email me
too.

Our route is I-80 Reno to Salt Lake City, I-15 south to Spanish Fork,
US Hwy 6 via Price to I-70 a few miles West of Green River, UT. to
Grand Junction, Hwy. 50 and finally Hwy 550 to Ouray.
