Anyone know of a comprehensive website on engine swaps in a CJ-7? I’m starting to gather some information for the engine swap along with transmission and transfer case. Just starting off, I am thinking a Chevy 350 (lots and lots of aftermarket parts) with some transmission (NV3550, or...

HELP! I broke my steering column (the mechanism that moves the wire to trigger the starter switch) and am without my jeep! I know that it is a GM column and there are other makes that would fit, but anyone know which one? Or even better, where I could get a steering column for an 81 CJ-7...

CVS parking lot ok, so i am driving today about to come to a stop and when i push in the clutch, there is a pop and this large spring falls from behind the dash to the floor. It is 7" long and is a very rigid spring. anyway, anyone know what this does? My CJ is still drivable (can't even...
