Progress: The diesel is looking pretty again.
This makes me feel like we're getting close. I cleaned and painted the 4BT. Black. It'll look at home in the Jeeps engine bay when she's all said and done. I may go back later and polish the top covers.BEFORE: AFTER:For what it's worth, I removed the SM465 trans to get it ready to adapt to the NP-231 transfer case. I took a couple pics of the inside of the bell housing and a pic of the clutch and flywheel.Take a peek.
