Wait, he's going into a `71 CJ-5? I thought that automatics didn't, as
a rule, fit. That was one of the reasons for the CJ-7 design -- enough
space for an auto tailshaft.

My mom gave her old 3800 powered Buick away after a cat died in it. I
hauled it to my niece's boyfriend du jour and he used the 3800 FWD
engine in his YJ. He fabbed his own mounts and modified an aluminum
bellhousing with extensive welding and cutting.
Advance and Novak blow more ---- out their *** before 9 AM than the
average platoon does all day...They said it was flat impossible. Flat
impossible took him about a week. Biggest problem was electronic,
getting the ECM to work in a manual application.
