    Why don't you just find another motor and not have to swap trans? Aren't non efi jeep 6cyl easy and cheap to come buy?
    He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!

    I don't think 4.0s are as cheap as they were a year ago. All the swap candidates now have orange paint on the blocks.

    there is gonna be no money swapped so this is a cheap way to get my CJ back on the road. yea the t-4 sucks like cox, but when it goes out, its easy to swap in a SM465 b/c the bellhousing just needs 2 holes.
