The front swaybar frame mounts are made and the shock passenger shock tower is tack'd in place to check clearance.

I haven't done too much, been distracted. I removed the old wheel wells in the back in prep for new longer ones and made some more body mounts. I also mounted the Mustang hydroboost and made a huge notch in the tranny tunnel for the fuel pedal to be mounted near the center of the vehicle . The column shift steering column arrived as well as the dimple die for making steps out of the rock sliders. I'll take some picture tomorrow.

Incredible build! Does the 518 bolt up to the 4BT without any mods or what did you need to make it work?

Really looks good. It looks like though you could have stretched the front sheet metal and put a 5.0 V10 twin turbo VW TDI in there.

The back of the 4BT is the same as a 6BT ( Cummins ) so I used the adapter and trans from a 92 Dodge Cummins. Same starter also and the belt drive from the front of the Dodge.

The Willys doesn't look so out of proportion now with the new fenders.

I mounted the steering column, nice and centered with the seat. I hate offset steering wheels (Cavaliers, etc...)
