They really must have run out of cash when they decided to use the D35!

I ran into a vintage Jeep club up near Earle's place in Silverton, CO this
summer. It was obvious from what they drove they wouldn't touch anything
called "Jeep" newer than 1969, and the tank better be under the seat.

Thanks Bill. He didn't know about the front. He thought that it was a 44
too. I can get the chassis, motor, tranny for about $300. Do you think
it's worth it to put it in an 85 CJ-7? What will I notice If I put the 304
in place of my 4.2? Will my rebuilt T-5 hold up?

Thanks again

Hi Chuck,
Many here would buy the rear axle for a grand alone, and be tickled
silly.
The Borg Warner T-5 is what's use behind the Mustang 5.0:

If you look at the cover on the Dana 44, it is shaped like an apple
laying on it's side.

As someone else mentioned, the T-5 is strong and used behind the 5.0
Mustang engine. A friend has that 5.0 in his 84, man does it fly!

Just watch 5th gear, it is an overdrive gear and shouldn't be used under
load, especially with a V8 loading it... ;-)

The owners manual for my CJ7 even comments not to use 5th when towing or
climbing hills with the 4.2 engine.
