Yeah, I am hoping that this one gets Opy moving a little quicker!
Work has flared up so not too much time right now, but I did get my York mounted. The pulleys were spaced from the block slightly differently than the 225, so I had to rework the York mount. I didn't really like it before, so it was good chance to try something else. Moved it to the drivers side above the PS pump. I had to change the pump housing to the small one used on an Astro van. Next up, making a larger PS reservoir and figuring out an air cleaner since this manifold is taller and my old air filter won't fit anymore. Thinking of doing a plenum with a K&N style cold air intake setup.
Here are the lame-o cell phone pics....

Grab a dictionary and look up " 5 pounds of shit in a one pound bag"... You'll see Opy's engine compartment[CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]Resistance Off Road

LOL, I don't how those low hooded willys do it. Even with the high hood I run out of room.
Happy late Birthday Kurt!
Anytime Daniel, anytime. Oh and if you are going up to try out Kurt's spool gun sometime, let me know I wouldn't mind seeing how that thing works. I have been thinking about getting one.
Hope to see you guys out on the trail sometime soon!

Thanks David! Been watching your progress and it is looking awesome!
Got a little time in this weekend. Reworking the power steering system, I had to go to a smaller reservoir on the pump so there would be room for the York above it. I didn't want to lose the fluid capacity so I doubled up the Astro reservoir I was using. I cut the top off one and the bottom off another and welded them together. After some grinding I filled any low spots with a little solder and got it pretty smooth, at least smooth enough for a thick coat of hammer finish paint to cover up the bad spots.
Did a little plumbing and I should be good to go with plenty of room for the York to go in.

Slave labor for my Dad...the endless wood stacking all summer was the prep for the cold
It is a breeze, two rules:
very clean metal
heat the joint until the metal melts the solder (i.e., don't let the flame melt the solder)
This one was a bit of a hack job because all I had left was a bunch of scrap pieces, the longest of which was about 6 inches and I needed two runs of 7-8 inches so I had a bunch of unnecessary joints. But the hardware was closed so I went for it. If I had a little tube bender I might try to make something nicer looking, maybe later.
