The axles is not an issue right now. I have the jeep tore down to the frame. Pull the rear end and the gas tank, and it will be just the frame. I just fiqure if I am doing it, I will regret not making the change now.

Thanks for the info. Forgive me for my ignorance, but are saying that I can use the same transfer case? Also, I have a pair of solid Mosier axles if I decide to keep the Dana 20 rear. I am wanting to upgrade to a Dana 44 wide track.

Maybe I need to rephrase my question, I want to find a Jeep with a 4.0 that I can take all the computer/fuel injection off of, AND that has a set of front and rear axles with a wide track that I can put under my jeep. The way I look at it, if I am buying a whole vehicle, then I want one that I...

btt:rolleyes:

1978. It was completly gone through a while back by a transmission friend of mine. I THOUGHT it had a chain in the transfer case because you could hear something popping when I took off. he tore it down, called me and said I got some good news and bad news. Good news is, I went through and...

The 3 speed manual I have in my CJ5 jeep had recently been gone through and is in great shape. Here is my question, I am re-building the jeep from the ground up. I am not that familiar with the transmissions, Is something that you would upgrade from? My plans from the jeep is street and jeep...

OK, I have decided to go with the 4.0 block with a 258 crank instead of the 258 for my 78 CJ5. So I am looking to purchase maybe a cherokee or somthing with the 4.0 so I can pull on the computer and fuel injection. Now the question, I fiqure since I a buying it anyway, I might as well swap out...

Engine Size and Compression Calculator Great site!! that was very helpful. the answer is..... standard bore... 279 ci. 030 over 283. 060 over 287 That would be kind of neat to put some old chevy 283 emblems on it.

Surely, somebody out there can do the math.:???:

do u mean CJ7? CJ5's pretty much only fit a CJ5 (the "cut out" in the bottom corner)

If you take the 4.0 and stroke with a 258 crank? how many cubic inches will it be? How many with a 30 overbore? how many with a 60 overbore?:???:

I tell ya, I did a lot of searching on the net and never found this site. Somebody on here posted it. When I am ready, I am going to buy one. For the price, they are not really that much higher than what is usually asked for used ones. Jeep CJ5 Hardtop and Hard Tops for a CJ 5

All though it was not on my jeep, coolant systems are pretty much the same. I just had this problem on my 94 chevy truck. I had a couple of leaks in the system. One around the thermostat housing, the other in the heater hose. They were dripping on the engine and turbo (hot) so I did not see...

Tell her that you are willing to compromise. You feel you need a full cage, she does not. So.... tell her that you are only going to put a cage on your side. Show her the pictures. I think she will them vote for the FULL cage.

That is cool. I thought nobody made them anymore. Not priced to bad either. Not much more for what they go for used when you can find them.

You would think that somebody out there would start making some CJ5 hardtops. Yes, I know that there are not as many as they used to be, but... they would not have any competition. I know I would look at one.

I say the rim failed first, then broke the tie rod.

Yep, I did'nt want them because of the room they took up but now..... I am thinking full cage when I do mine.

If it is strickly off road, why do you want to go with e-lockers and not straight detroit lockers? Just curious.

This is where we build a "fantasy" jeep for off road only. We discuss right from the begining which jeep year and style is best suited then onto suspension, drive train, and engine/trans combo. This jeep will be taken on your more extreme off road trails. Although it is a "fantasy" build, it is...
