Tailgate was also pretty good, just a small depression on inner to sort.
There is a small dent around tail lights on passenger side, on the lower section. Will unpick quarter, so can do the repair from the inside
All in all still very happy overall with the body.
Dropped engine at rebuilders, will tear down and report. Had a remanufactured tag on rear side of block so assume it has had at least one rebuild.
If rebuildable, plan is around 9.5 to 1 compression using AFR Eliminator heads (or like), small cam, Comp Cams X4260HR, Edelbrock Performer EPS manifold and Holley Terminator Stealth with Hyperspark ignition
Local gear specialist picked up transfer case, will pull it down and put new bearings and any other items it may need. Thinks the damaged rear yoke might be able to be machined.
I have Turbo 350 to drop off to my local transmission guy to recondition tomorrow.
Waiting on lots of parts currently shipping via ocean freight. Alcan springs should be available around Sept 9th
Pete do you have pics of transfer case colour, or where on your rebuild thread I can find, so I can forward to the rebuilder?
