But 41 has weak 2 piece axle that was the bane of AMC 20 too. Besides
nothing is going to turn that into a econobox and it is best left as
it is gear wise unless it has a different engine installed.

What you seek with OD on that Jeep you will not find. You will never
see a return on the cost of this and that tiny mill cannot pull a much

begin with) Good Luck!
