Final bits of 1978 Jeep CJ7 LM7 swap Latest issues:
blew a tire
something rapidly draining the battery
non smog legal cats
Got a new used set of 31" BFG AT's and had them put on....now it lights up the tires easier, almost scary
My buddy called and said he figured out what the battery drain was and fixed it.
Traded my high flow cats for a set of stockers that should pass the smog ****, cats should be in tomorrow or thursday and it will only take a few minutes to weld them up and bolt up the exhaust.
Here are a few random pics..
exhaust routing is funky because we didn't have room to go inside the frame rails
paint already burned off the headers...they'll probably get coated in a few weeks.
not sure if I posted this vid....this was on old tires and running rich

what tranny? I'm at almost 3000 rpm's at 70 so I won't be impressing anyone with fuel efficiency
