Nice work! That cowl is awesome! Must be an early TJ...my 97 has only one, but most others after that had three (IIRC)...

I'm not sure what you are talking about. I thought you were talking about the vent holes, and got mixed up. I was calling the panel behind the hood where the vent is, the cowl. Maybe I'm wrong.  Anyhow the YJ had a plate with many more holes in it, and I filed it off and cut the seven holes in place of it just like my 1.1. Let me know what you were talking about, and maybe set me straight.  | |

You don't ever have to worry about jacking a thread of mine. I believe the more info the better! I find this very interesting, and my son just bought a 97, but I haven't seen it yet. He sent me som pics on my phone, but his jeep is black so I didn't notice. | |

Very nice work. I also learned something new. never knew the Tj's had 3 cowl vents at one point. I have a 99, at least mostly, lol. I have parts that have been swapped into it from many years or other vehicles all together. Axles are from a 97 that had 4:88 gears installed into them before I bought them. The motor core (long block) is from another 97 as well. Mine pooped (cracked pistons) so I got a low millage block from a friend and swapped all of my stuff onto it. Although I put a lot of new stuff on when I did it (new lifters, rods, rockers, timing chain/gears, oil pump, waterpump, all gaskets, etc). Still works to this day (I did it about 7 years ago). I had never really worked on an engine before and got it done in one day all by my lonesome. i did have a friend with a decent shop to loan me with tools, etc. I knocked myself out after finishing it too. The shop has an auto movement light outside (it was dark by this time). But I was bringing out the old fluids after initial startup. I had pulled the engine lift out and put it between the two shop bays. And I was watching the ground as I walked out as there are tranny's and parts everywhere. I walked under the lift and forgot that it was a lift with a boom. And whack, cracked my head on the boom. Not sure how long I was out, but I got up and wipped the blood off and walked home. It was only about 1-2 miles from my house. I was done for the night and wasn't driving after that. it was after midnight and I didn't want to call anyone due to embarrassment and not wanting to wake them. I laugh about it now and they painted onto the lift a circle with (Mark was here) and a low clearance sticker next to it.
