Welcome. Glad to see another Jeeper on board. Sounds like you've got some interesting plans for your TJ. If you don't find the info you need about keeping your transmission, here's a couple of places you might try.
Pirate4x4.com as well as Advance Adapters.
There is also a guy on the Jeep board I hang out on who has a 4bt in a Durango. He might be able to pass some info along on what works and what doesn't. Once you start the build, definitely keep us posted on how things go.

Either way, I'm looking forward to build pics. One of these days I may get a wild hair and see about putting one in my CJ5.

I'll have to go check it out. My only fear is it will get the wheels turning in my head, and get me to thinking I won't be able to live without swapping the 304 out of my CJ5 and putting a 4bt in its place.

are you running a carb still or have upgade to tbi or efi? you can always sell the parts off your cj to counter the parts for the 4bt swap your looking at around $1500 for a complete engine in yours compared to $5000 for the one i will be installing in mine since i need an 05 recon 4bt. and a transmission with transfer case will run you anywhere from $300 to $4000 then axle swap would be recomended atleast in the rear.
