This will be a long slow process as I don’t have too much time or cash to put towards her. But I got my Grand in 2016 from Sorento.
Guy I got it off was.... well an idiot. Barely had it running when I went to test drive it, but I didn’t care too much. Previous owner and “mechanic” did some stupid stuff. He installed an electric fuel pump for “starvation issues” that was actually just the sock fell off the pickup in the tank... think he would have clued in when it was running out of fuel consistently at half a tank. Also managed to have a “carburetor” issue that had it running on six cylinders, turns out two of the plugs were completely closed. No mechanical damage to the engine so it was an installation issue.
Was ran that way for a LONG time, roached out both of those cylinders. Had to rebuild the engine.
Bored the 360 .20 over, stock compression (that was a mistake) Melling MTA-1 RV Cam, Edelbrock Performer Intake and did the Ford TFI ignition upgrade as well
That’s a large portion of the major work I have done besides some 31/10.5r15’s, the Jeep already had a BDS 4 inch lift which was a huge bonus. Rebuilt the Trac-Loc rear end and done a bunch of brake work, still need to bleed and fix the soft pedal it has. Also upgraded the headlights with some H4 Conversion Lenses, and some ludicrously high wattage bulbs which really helped the crappy stock lights.
Did that properly with ceramic H4 plugs, correctly gauged wire for the amperage and Relays to control the switching off the stock harness (no cutting of the stock wiring)
And other small cosmetic things like the custom plaid headliner, gotta stay classy ;)
I will try and update this as repairs and modifications continue!
