1058575 Any vehcicle 1972 and older does not have to meet any smog requirements in CA so in your case you can do whatever you want. But it is still legal to do an engine swap even if your vehicle is newer and '72. You just have to go to a "Smog Referee" who will look at your new engine to...

1049380 This is strictly going to be a fun vehicle for wheeling, not a daily driver. But I will most likely be taking it on the freeway to get to my wheeling desitination quite often. So if I were to buy a 258 (because of availability) and convert to a 304 later, would I have to swap out...

1050593 Here are some pics that show the Jeep. You can see the drivers side seat is pretty bad but the passenger side is decent. http://home.earthlink.net/~rwellman/index.html[addsig]

1050682 Well, it's not mine quite yet. The guy is asking $3900 for it. I'm going to try to get it for ~$3400 or so. I will be flying into L.A. friday night and will try to close the deal Saturday morning. Then I'll drive it home about 350 miles north to the San Francisco bay area. Thanks...

1051441 What about the front driveshaft? What mods are best done with a 4" lift. I'm also planning on putting the 4" RE lift soon.[addsig]

1054521 I also have been looking into the Rubicon Express 4" lift. I have heard a bunch of good stuff about it. Has anyone here installed one themselves? How difficult is it? The one main difference between this lift and all the others out there is that it uses a shackle conversion kit so...

1048421 I'm just starting to do some research for my project CJ7. I'm looking for feedback on what the best setups for CJ7s. Which engine is best, which model year, which transmission, which axles, transfer case, etc. Then, which modifications are best? Which lift kits are best, tire...

1049368 In general, which engine is better? I'm looking for a project CJ7 to buy and am debating which engine is better. The I6 is more common than the V8 and not as rare, but isn't the V8 worth waiting for? I've also seemed to notice that there are more modifications that can be done to...

1050565 So it looks like I'll be buying my Jeep this weekend. '79 CJ7, Chevy 350, at. The only problem is after I pick it up, I have to drive it home (about 6-7 hr. drive). The driver seat is in pretty bad shape but the passenger seat is perfect. I don't know if I could handle that long of...

1051298 Well, I got the Jeep this weekend!! Thanks everyone for answering my questions about swapping drivers and passengers side seat. Swapping them worked good enough to drive the Jeep 350 miles home. I just ordered some new Mastercraft Rubicon seats My question is about the...
