Ok guys, I'm turning this over to Ashley. Her first Jeep and she has work to do. I will help her but she will do the majority if the work.
Here she is in her Stealth mode getting her Black Ops 2.

A lot more has happened. Today, bumper install and new tank install.

And so it begins..... and never ends....
1979 Jeep CJ-7 401 AMC, GMC 6-71 Blower 10% overdrive, Bugcatcher with electronic fuel injection and a little N2O for fun, all self built. (this supercharger stuff is easy)
Ok went to change out Ashley's headers and also to put some umbrella seals on (couldn't get my tool to the rear of the head so we didn't do that) but while she had the first two rocker arms off she noticed one was sloppy when she went to torque it down. Come to find out she has a bent push rod. So she decided to check them all and on the passenger side there is another one and we can't get it out.
So she is going to remove the 2bbl intake and while she is at it install her 4bbl intake and carb (after she rebuilds it).
Also found a small core plug leaking so she will do that.
Long day and night so we will finish it soon.
She tried real hard to get the rod out but it felt like it was in a "Z".
Well the beginning of open heart surgery on the Beast as Peach called it.
Ashley has decided to go w/a short block rebuild and she will learn to do the valve job. Great experience.
Look ma, no gloves. :)
Never have done a timing set on a AMC.
Tonight, she pulles the heads off and then we will have a friend check the cyl taper since I don't know how/never done a bottom end.
Well we stripped the motor down the rest of the way to check that push rod out and look what we found on the third rocker back from the front.
I think Ashley is going to buy a AMC 360 from S & J engines. Comes with a 7/100,000 mile warranty.

Her 304 is for sale cause she wants the 360. You can still see the cross hatch on the cylinder walls.
