I'm swapping a SBC into my 84 CJ7. Anyway this project has been on and off for the last 5 yrs (due to moves). I'm about ready to fire it up again but somewhere along the line the plug wires were removed. What is best way for determining which spark plug goes to which spot on the distributor...

I'm swapping a Chevy 327 into my 84 CJ7. Motor is in the engine bay. I got a SM465 and NP208 to put behind it. Well today I just spent about 4 hrs trying to put the transmission behind the motor. I can't seem to get the last inch or so to go all the way in. Am I missing something here? (I have...

Does anyone have any experience with the clutch likage setup for the chevy V8 swap into a CJ7? I have this kit from advanced adapters that I bought a number of years ago which allows me to bolt the kit to the block so that the bell crank has something to attach to. So that is fine but the gap...

Ok, I'm in the middle of my sbc swap in my CJ7. I finally found a transmission and tcase for my swap. I got a SM465 with a NP208 (with adapter). While I would have rather had the NP205 I couldn't beat the price for them. Now I have zero experience with a slip yoke. What kind of issues am I...

Well I'm still struggling to locate what I need. I have a 84CJ7 with a SBC already in the engine compartment. What I wanted was a SM465/NP205 to bolt right up to it and be done. But I can't find that combination local for less that 500 bucks (and that is junkyard with 30 day guarantee). Well I...

Well I'm working on my SBC swap. I was originally going to use my Ford T18 to the Chevy motor. But this weekend I discovered the transmission is actually a Jeep T18A. So it won't bolt up to the motor w/out an adapter. So I would rather have a straight bolt on transmission and t-case. I have...

Looking for a Chevy sm465 and the mating transfer case for my SBC swap. Hopefully fairly close to St. Louis MO. Thanks!

A friend of mine has an old Scout II pushed off into the woods of his farm. This vehicle is pretty trashed but I was curious if it might have a Dana 44 axle. It's probably a late 70s model.

Well this weekend I was preparing to marry up my supposed T18 to my SBC. Novak claims this is fairly simple with a little machining to the retainer. Well the transmission that I thought was a T18 doesn't have the Ford "butterfly" bolt pattern and it doesn't have the undrilled ears that Novak...

Ok, here's what I got. A chevy 327 in an 84 CJ7. This was a swap project I started many years ago but I got layed off and moved a few times. Now I'm ready to get back to work on it. I have a Ford T18 transmission stuck to a Dana 20 t-case that I want to bolt up to the motor. The below link is...

Now I'm sure this type of thread has floated around a time or two before but I would still like to hear some opinions. I have accumulated quite a bit of "Jeep junk" over the years but now I want to make a solid good looking jeep. What I have...... 84 CJ7. Perfect body no rust on the frame. It...

I know there is no one great answer here but any input would be great. This past weekend I drove my 78 CJ7 (304/T150/Dana20) to the seymour jamboree. Well on the way back let's just say I had some major problems and limped back on just the front axle. Well the engine is tired and I hate the...

I have a 78 CJ7. Looking to get some wheel spacers. Is there a big difference between 1 inch, 1.25 inch, and 1.5 inch thickness? Thanks!

Ok, I have a 78 CJ7 w/304. It has the T150/Dana20. In the garage I already have a World Class T5 with a Dana 300. Now this may not be the most desirable combo it is better than what I have now. So this weekend I am swapping them out. Well when I got the transmission up in there I just couldn't...

I know the transmission questions never stop but.... I just got back from my first wheelin trip and my T150's first gear is just not low enough. Now I am looking for what are the best options. I do have a brand new World Class T5 transmission stuck to a Dana 300 T/C. But will it bolt up to my...

I have an 80 CJ7 that is a rust bucket. It has the 258 6 cyl and a 4 spd. Does anyone know offhand what model 4 spd and T-case is under it? Or will I have to crawl under there and find some numbers? If it is a T176/D300 I am considering swapping them for my T150/D20 in my 78 CJ7 with 304. Thanks

Lift Kit experiences Don't know a whole lot about Cherokees but have one available for real cheap but it has no motor. I have a 258 6cyl from an 80 CJ7 laying around and wondered if anyone knew how much trouble it would be to bolt this in? Thanks

I have an oil leak and was looking for some opinions. I have a 78CJ7 with the 304. Well recently I took off the factory air cleaner assembly and replaced it with the crome K&N style air cleaner. Well that is when my problem started. After driving oil is pooling up on the water pump just below...

I am Hercing my tub this weekend. I installed a new steel tub earlier this year and I have completely taken off the cheap paint that the tub came with. So now it is bar metal. My question is should I paint the tub first with some rust preventive primer and then scuff it up real good? Or should I...

87 Cherokee won't up shift Haven't done a whole lot of research on this as I haven't really thought too much about it. But I am taking a looong trip next month and would love to have cruise control. Does anyone know how hard it is to get a 78 CJ7 hooked up with CC. And if it is possible where...
