Sweet, you two were right on the dot.. thanks a lot, much appreciated.

:x Can someone help me diagnose please... My 84 cj7 with a straight 6 with a manual trans has been sitting for two days and when I tried to take it out today, it wasn't a having it. Everything seems normal, but when I put it in gear and try to go, it just revs high as if in neutral. A couple...

Thanks 69jeepcj, do you think I would have to swap the spline even if i have the transmission that came with the motor? I took the motor, transmission, radiator, the computer, starter, fan and shrod. Will i have to drill new holes on the frame, move the motor mounts ? I'm not too excited...

My brother an I are about to attempt a motor swap and I wanted to know if anyone has any words of wisdom or problems we may encounter before we start. We will be taking out the 4 banger in my '84 CJ7 and dropping in a 6 banger from a '87 CJ7. Can I get some reassurance that its just going to...

thanks steady.foot, here is a better picture of the side of the engine. hopefully you can tell me more about it. I'm running on tires sized 32x11.5x15.

My top speed is at 60, and i dont have an rpm gauge. It Doesn't sound like tHe 4 cylinder motOr is being over worked when I'm on the fwy. It's a 5 speed and i notice 4th and 5th gear feels the same when I step on the gas. No speed increase when I'm in 5th gear. As for the carb, I havent...

Can I get some advice on how I can get my 84 cj7 on the freeway in a manner in which the big 16 wheelers aren't passing me? Is it the gearing, the motor, what? I got the jeep from a English couple who didn't know too much about what was done to the jeep when they bought it. Honestly, can...

All good points.. thanks a lot. Guess ill have to keep searching for a more reasonable swap. I will post pictures of my engine soon to see what I'm working with.

Does anyone know if I can swap a Inline 6 L24 motor that came out of a 72 datsun 240z into my 84 cj7 ? Any advice ? My current motor doesn't let me go faster than 60mph.. this is the only picture I have on my phone of the motor currently...

Sweet news, I applied a little lubricant and had my brother-in-law help me wiggle the door while it was fully open. Took about a minute each door. All I needed was another set of hands and a few drops of lubricant. Thanks everyone.

Either I'm really weak or its really stuck in there, cuz I tried the wiggle and left method and it won't come off. I want to make sure there aren't any screws I need to take out from the hinges. Looks like ill have to apply some lubricant and use more might

Hey everyone, I want to know how it feels with without doors! I was reading the other threads but still can't figure it out, so i figured I'd post a picture to show what I'm working with. Thanks in advance.

It was only a few weeks after I bought my first jeep that I ruptured my Achilles tendon. The sun has been out here in La for months and I've been only able to look at her under the carport.... But that was until today! My ankle hasn't fully recovered but i couldnt take it any longer, I had to...

Sweeet.. thanks for the info, i'll try it very soon. hopefully i have this brute force your talking about, as i only weight a buck thirty.

ya that sounds like what it is. Its located between the steering wheel and the turn signal. Its a '84 cj7 if that helps.
