Re: CJ Seat Mounting Recomendations?
MIke, I wouldn't trust "gobs of Glue" either. I took my head to a machine
shop and had freezeplugs put in. The passages in question are on one side of the head not in the back. I've known a number of folks who've done the mod and I've been privy to welded, and JB welded as well as freeze plugs. Never have I known of anyone who had a problem with any of those methods.... Not to say no one ever has, but if you do it right you are fine. There is a big difference between both heads as far a economy of performance goes. read this: http://monsterslayer.com/jeep/40Head/40Head.htm I used this article as a guide to do my work.
