Re: Stronger drive train setup for CJ7

Redrooster -

1. Still researching what top end will be with 34's and 1:1 final drive (even though my current trans has 5th), but would like to be able to comfortably do 65mph.

4. You mentioned "Wrangler" in your post. It's for an '84 CJ7 w/ pass side drop, so I'd stick to the chevy stuff instead of Ford, right?

2. That being clarified, I recall seeing a number of posts that the D30/AMC20 combo should be upgraded before going taller than 33" tires. I think you've been on the trail once or twice. In your opinion, would simply converting to 1-peice in the AMC20 support the 34"? Finally, I've got the 360 ci (so if you go crazy and want to donate your old FI...) and intend to "squeeze" some more power out of it. I'm not easy on this Jeep at all; I'd rather something "overkill" than "just enough".

Thanks for the input!
