Yeah, I told him i'd give him 400 bucks, let me know when he wants me to
come get it :).
I was actually looking to do exactly what your friend did.
I have a stompin' smallblock that was originally built for my landcruiser,
(high tourque) and I have a 501 caddy engine... (was thinking it would be
good for the goat) .. since in thier stock incarnation they are unaceptably
loud. does your friend have an e mail adress (I would love some "20,000
miles witha goat" type information). I'm going to basically build myself
the "ultimate offroad camping, etc." vehicle (having had baja bugs,
landcruisers, etc... having a rig that floats is nice :) I'm not after
"authentic" but i really don't want to chop up a clean one eithier (this
one here would actually be ok i think, if i could find a transaxle and the
guy would be reasonable)
I was told the number one problem was axle breakage, and that proper
maintenance alleviates it, (and there's apparently a fix) followed by noise
and fording without the drainplugs :) and a tendency to want to jackknife
on steep downhills where sidehills are involved (or something?)
I found the original maintenance manuals, so i have all the information i
need to rebuild one, now i just need one.
thanks guys,
