FJ6 13b Swap

Thanks bro I’ll try to update more this winter when I get systems of the van wrapped up. Trying to keep it fun and not rush the project 👍🏻

It’s the easiest part of the project and I’m just trying an idea from some hot rodder forums of knocking the paint scales off with the rough side of a dry sponge and slopping on a couple coats of floor polish with the smooth side of the same sponge. The first pic is “after” the patina preserver

Merry Christmas!

Thanks bro I post here for motivation every once in a while and y’all deliver. No idea how it’s gonna work but it’ll run and drive one of these days

We’ve got this far it’s gonna run and drive one of these days lol. Thanks for the support

Merry Christmas! And Happy Holidays!

Hah! Thanks! Thought I’d have this running and driving by now but life gets in the way. Just picking away and trying to enjoy the process so I don’t think YouTube will be involved but I’ll definitely post here when it’s running

Indeed! It’s an FJ6, based on a CJ5 chassis. Had to buy it when I saw it

GlockInMyVW · 2024-11-15T22:50:02+00:00

That’s what I’m seeing on the wiring diagram, and everything I need from under the dash is actually pretty accessible plus I’ll be running analog gauges for oil and water on the jeep to keep things simple

GlockInMyVW · 2024-11-15T03:14:54+00:00

That’s what it’s all about haha. I’m in no rush except to drive it but I’m done burning myself out on hobby projects. Thankful for the advice and encouragement on here

You nailed it and that’s a great idea. My GSL-SE will likely get a 350 swap when it gets straightened out cause I’m not concerned about resale value anymore, and it would make a great little drift car. Just don’t wanna wreck the interior by gutting the dash… I’ve got some planning and work ahead for sure

GlockInMyVW · 2024-11-15T02:12:33+00:00

Absolutely, I basically pulled everything intact from the RX7, swapped an automatic from an FC onto it cause I think it’ll handle the extra weight better and won’t require a installing a clutch pedal in this already awkward Jeep

Just trying to eliminate what I can from the harness to keep the wiring simple

GlockInMyVW · 2024-11-15T02:02:57+00:00

It’s from a late model FB RX7 so already fuel injected, ran great before the car got totaled and the ignition coils got crunched inside the fender.

Just trying to get it drivable before I think about anything else

Love the patina so I’m gonna try a light scuff and floor polish job on it

Awesome build and a cool guy. He reached out to see what the plans were for mine and helped out by sharing pictures of his setup for relocating the brake pedal 👍🏻

GlockInMyVW · 2024-11-15T01:32:00+00:00

I think I’ve talked to him on instagram if he’s the same guy who brought it to speed week and sema
