Re: Buncha questions about CJ engine swap.
The Blazer, like my Bronco will never be on top of the hill with
me, like the TJ they're too heavy.
Gasoline at four or five bucks a gallon is the cheapest expense of
operation of a vehicle. My Bronco at ten miles to the gallon with or
without the Jeep on the back, is probable the cheapest life insurance I
may buy.
You want cheaper oil tell your bleeding heart liberals you want
your electricity generated by nuclear power, and let the oil companies
build new refineries to let taxes, supply and demand find it's level.

Re: Buncha questions about CJ engine swap.
I don't want cheaper oil. I want the oil conserved so that we can have
some time to deal with the reality of a planet with many billions of
humans and no oil. People will not burn less oil unless the oil is more
expensive. The Europeans have high oil prices and a basically decent
standard of living, we can too.
This is why I want the ANWR off limits-it will result in five years of
less expensive oil, then we are back to square one. Leave the oil there
for now and if, after we have implemented serious population and
consumption controls that are working, it can be demonstrated using the
oil will enable people to finish out their natural lives instead of
dying of starvation, tap it then.
Paying today's prices for gas for my go to work buggy hurts me like
everyone else, but cheap oil is a disaster. Wishing cheap oil on
America is like wishing for a cheap supply of crystal meth, heroin or
crack cocaine.
If people have to commute more than five to ten miles to work, they
need mass transit or economical cars, and freight needs to go by rail
instead of the Interstate Highways that result in a colossal subsidy of
the trucking industry. If Class 8 trucks were to pay their share of
road maintenance in the US based on diesel fuel, it would have to be at
least $7 a gallon.
I don't call that liberal. I call it the laws of thermodynamics. If
you don't like them, complain to the Great Legislator.

Re: Buncha questions about CJ engine swap.
Hey Guys,
I didn't mean to start anything vicious, I just wanted to tap into your
combined wisdom.
Bill, I want to stay with a Jeep 6cyl. I've done several engine swaps and
(IMHO) the payoff for the labor involved is usually minimal. Maybe just
shoddy engineering on my part but I think I'll stay with the AMC/Chrysler 6.
That being said...
What about the AX15 tranny along with the 4.0.... will the Dana 300 fit or
do I have to lose that too? And then must I change driveshafts? I realize
the yokes will probaby be different. (Christ, Now I gotta run a hydraulic
clutch!)
Earle, The Cherokee has a cable drive Speedo head and no adapter box along
the cable (that I can see). What part does the speedo play in the fuel
injection? This early a model..I don't think it even has a VSS. I thought
the fuel timing was a product of Vacuum, Crank Position, RPM and O2 readings

I didn't mean to start anything vicious, I just wanted to tap into your
combined wisdom.
Bill, I want to stay with a Jeep 6cyl. I've done several engine swaps and
(IMHO) the payoff for the labor involved is usually minimal. Maybe just
shoddy engineering on my part but I think I'll stay with the AMC/Chrysler 6.
That being said...
What about the AX15 tranny along with the 4.0.... will the Dana 300 fit or
do I have to lose that too? And then must I change driveshafts? I realize
the yokes will probaby be different. (Christ, Now I gotta run a hydraulic
clutch!)
Earle, The Cherokee has a cable drive Speedo head and no adapter box along
the cable (that I can see). What part does the speedo play in the fuel
injection? This early a model..I don't think it even has a VSS. I thought
the fuel timing was a product of Vacuum, Crank Position, RPM and O2 readings
