Get your feelings hurt, sweetheart?

You asked to be enlightened.

How he spends his time and money is none of your business. He posted asking for
help, not your $0.02 on his decision to do what he wants with HIS Jeep.

Get over yourself.

That is an easy one. I already have this one and I knew the previous owner,
which means that I know what I'm getting. As opposed to buying one where I
know nothing about it's history. How long will it take to find another one
with a fiberglass body and a 360 in it? I have no idea and I'll never find
out. I guess I do not care if I'm ruining what someone else paid for
because it's mine now and I'll personalize it in my own way.

A stock jeep was not for sale at the same time and place.

I did get an it for an exceptional price. And this one is not exactly stock
even without the dangerous tires.

Chip,
Getting back to the subject, As far as selling the stuff, you'd probably do
best trying to sell it locally since shipping with E-bay would be expensive.
Even though buyers usually pay the shipping costs, they take that into
consideration when bidding. Also shipping things like tires and wheels costs
extra, alot extra. I'd post ads at your local 4WD repair shops, maybe in the
newspaper or on craiglist.com if it covers your town. Be patient because
what you are selling is a relatively specialized item that not everyone
wants.

As far as the engine trannie deal, the 360 is the sae block as the 304 which
is what AMC used in the late 70's CJ's. I had a 79 with a built 304 and a
T18 transmission. That being said, you should be able to have Novak or
Advance hook you up with just about any engine, transmission, transfer case
combo you want. I'd recommend shifting to the D-300 or atlas tranfer case
since the quadratrac is getting fewer and further apart. It isn't the best
case either. Just my 2 centavos FWIW.

Also, I agree with most of the others, its your jeep do what makes you
happy. You are the one who will drive it. No one else. It's better to have a
happy Jeeper with a relatively streetable rig than an unhappy one with an
offroad beast.
