Those stamped steel rockers look like a simple unassuming part. But believe me a lot more goes into taking a coil of steel and punching the rocker arm out. Each part went through 8 operations iirc in a progressive die. And after that there was a second press to punch the oil feed hole in the pushrod seat. The hole is smaller in diameter than the steel is thick. The parts then went to heat treat. The rockers were made in house up until about 86. Then the whole rear end division minus the gear cutters went to Dana. The Gleason gear cutters for rings and opinions went to China.
That's because he's too busy building engines to build a web site. He has a facebook page here facebook.com/Bishop-Buehl-Racing-Engines-248948051907539/ but really you're probably better off just calling him. Phone number is on the FB page
That's up to him. It's possible, though I doubt it'll be all that interesting. His motor will be fully assembled when it shows up. All we'll be doing is pulling one out and swapping the new one in.
@@stinkyfabracing you could do a how-to for engine removal, and explain how an engine hoist is a tool designed to find the tensile strength of that one thing you forgot to disconnect from the engine.
@@peterjford You have a good point, maybe I'll talk Cal into doing an in-depth engine swap video. It's certainly true that many people don't know what all needs to be done and are intimidated by all that stuff under the hood. I'm intimidated by the amount of time that video would take to make, but then again this engine swap is moving at a snails pace anyways.....
@@caltuttle2524 since yours has already taken so much time, I'll let you get it finished and then when one of my Jeeps needs a new engine we can do a video on mine, as long as Dallas let's me do it in his shop (I'll pay for his labor if he helps).

Man I miss building engines!
Nice video cant wait to buy my skid and long arm kit!
Is that bumper have a bracket for a winch ?
Yep, the winch is hidden inside.
Can’t find a website for the kit provider?

Are you going to record putting Cal's engine in?

I dislike how much of a good idea that is. I'm downvoting you for the amount of work its going to probably cost me.

Yay!
