    which exhaust header to buy?

    1053769 provided you're still running a cat and muffler i wouldnt worry about the backpressure, i have headman headers on my 350, they're pretty nice, borla also makes a really nice header but they can be a little pricey, stay away from pacesetter Quik[addsig]

    1053790 if you want an exhaust with a nice deep tone to it, the only way you're going to get the sound you're looking for is to drop a v8 in her Quik[addsig]

    hemi jeep

    1053958 it would probably make your life easier to get rid of your jeep TCase and just go with a compatible dodge one...other then that all you'll have to worry about is a set of motor mounts and custom made driveshaft...but if my 350 fit i dont see why a 315 wouldnt fit Quik[addsig]

    buying a jeep

    1054092 the HO motor is the way to go, it may be smaller in displacement but they're all fuel injected, and more powerful...nothing against 87-90 YJ's, i just like the HO engine better Quik[addsig]

    4.0 or V-8 need feedback on this!!!

    1044432 well depending on your transmission you most likely wont beable to reuse it, if its the AX-5 which jeep put on their 4 cyl models from 87-93 i believe, its crap, wont even hold up under a 4.0 let alone a v8...in either case the transfer case can be reused, however if you go with the 4.0...
