4.0 Humpster update

["Widiker, John D" <john.widiker@xxxxxxx>]

Well the 4.0 is finally bolted in and almost ready to run. The AX15 fit
with no floor pan modification at all other then a hole for the shifter,
BARELY. It's at least .5" away from the floor pan in every direction but
it fills the tunnel quite a bit, actually joining the engine and trans
required moving the engine forward and tilting it quite a bit to allow
the two to mate but it's looking pretty good. Problem I'm having right
now is that I didn't realize the clutch slave doesn't contain a bleeder
valve, FSM states there is no reason to have to bleed the system so
there is no provision. I have to think there is a way, just haven't
found one yet. Dumped the fluid to ensure it was fresh before reading
that it's not bleedable DOH!!!! Made a dash panel out of diamond plate
to allow use of the Jeep factory gauges (no speedo cable on trans etc)
looks pretty trick. Worrying about having a driveshaft made and still
working on mounting the in tank pump into the Javelin right now. 

Any advise about bleeding the clutch would be great if anyone has messed
with the external slave before.
