Previous soft top rotted away long ago and is no longer made. Hard top has all major components but were apart and has been stored many years.

  1981 BJ44V with 2B Diesel Motor

  By theadamnc

  I picked up this thing down in Florida a few months ago. Drove her all the way back from Florida to North Carolina. My only plan was to drive the thing around for fun, but as with all things this old, she needs some love, and some of these problems can't be ignored. I figure since I am going to be doing the work, I might as well document it here. There isn't a lot of information out there about the BJ44V and it's 2B motor. As I find parts that work I will include those items here as well... Read more

  By Old Nick

  The first 8 pages of this thread are chit-chat and having fun. Go to p. 9 if you are interested in following Zeke's TDI swap. Howdy, Gang, Starting this thread as a place-holder for now. But, I am starting to think about building Zeke (been having a blast driving him this week). Mechanically, @120mm has him sorted (the steering and exhaust will be addressed). Zeke ran like a champ on the 6 hour drive back to our place from LBL last weekend. So, here's what up: 1) I see that I... Read more

  engine/tranny combo

  By Codybones

  I'm looking at engine/tranny combos for my 72 Swinger and wondering what companies people have had good luck with as I see there are several out there that get good reviews. Thinking of either the 360 Magnum or 408 stroker, would like EFI but not a deal breaker if it doesn't make sense. Thanks for the input.
