Have not posted since my Birthday in Sept on my CUCV Build but can finally say we are back on...
In the mean time I pulled the motor and got it on a stand to assess/diagnose the problem:
Had been looking for a donor in the mean time.
Scored an 87 CCLB on local CL with a replacment 6.2 Target engine, sounds like it runs good so bought it and they delivered it for fuel money yesterday.
I started a little body disassembly Sunday afternoon, getting one fender and inner fenders well off and the other one tonight. The DLS time is killing me with only about an hour of daylight after work.
Hope to get the radiator drained and the core support off tomorrow and get a good look for any thing I need to address before swapping into the CUCV.
Did find a fuel leak that ended up being a broken injector return line so swapped a good one from the old engine.
Hopefully when done I can part out or sell what's left and recoupe some of it back.
