RE: Snorkel? carb?
I just bolted a YJ body to my CJ frame today. It requires a little modification, but not much. The rear crossmember mounts are about 3/4 farther out on a YJ, and the 3rd body mount from the front on the sides is about 3-4" further forward on a YJ.
If I were you, I'd check ebay for YJ tubs. That's where I got mine. I read some bad things about the aftermarket steel CJ tubs, aluminum is really expensive, and I didn't feel comfortable with fiberglass.
Check out this site for YJ and CJ frame blueprints.

There guy is really helpful and some of the prices aren't bad either.
