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

Re: Buncha questions about CJ engine swap.
I said: "Gasoline at four or five bucks a gallon is the cheapest
expense of operation of a vehicle." And it's the cheapest product we
sell. And don't give me that Lying Liberal bullsh*t about running our of
petroleum! Every hear of Russia?

Re: Buncha questions about CJ engine swap.
In the short term I just want gasoline prices to be stable. The price
changing 20-30 cents from one day to the next is for the birds.
If the OPEC folks want $60 a barrel that's fine. The US and Canada produce
most of the worlds corn, wheat and beef. Let's tie the price of their food
to the price of our oil.
You screw with us we'll cut off your food.....Payback's a bitch
