That's a pretty popular swap seems that 4bt is more popular than a small block anymore. Are you building a swamp buggy or a rock crawler or just all around play toy?
The engine looks nice. make sure to send pictures as you go!! cool stuff :rocking:

Whats the difference in a CJ and a TJ jeep is a Tj like a Cherokee?
I can tell you take good care of your equipment do you make custom fabrications for sale? That fuel cover would sell like hot cakes imagine people could even chrome that.:rocking:

Dzljon 06-04-2015 01:26 PM

If there is interest I will make and sell them, all the pieces for my conversion will be available as well

The jku spring idea did not work as well as would have liked l, but no loss the springs were free l, but now I have 4" lift springs inbound for a 1978-79 bronco from jeff's bronco grave yard they are 20" un-installed and have a 410 lb per inch coil should work with the added 300 lbs

If it sticks out, you can always put a hood scoop to cover it:humm:

Got the flywheel back from the machine shop and went to work on the clutch, I sourced a new pilot bearing from the local bearing supply but the minor diameter is 1mm to large so I made a bushing and pressed it into the bearing and has a good slip fit over the input shaft
