Buy it & junk the 6. Go find a good wrecking yard GM 350. Advanced Adapters can seel you what you'll need to get in all running.

1063163 Heres a thought : What if you swapped. not the drivetrain, but the BODIES ??? ~just a thought ~ [addsig]

1063164 If you do an internet search for : AUTO AUCTIONS You'll probably come up with a couple in your part of the country. In north California 97 TJ se models (4 banger/5speeds) are going for just under $5 grand. Step 1>Install a Paxton supercharger to make the I4 GO! Step2>Big Tires...

1063166 Heater ? Whatya need a stinkin' heater for ?!?!?!?!?! 1971....That's 32 years old....I would advise against this rig for your daily driver. I would however advise it for your weekend rock toy. Remember the 5 is the one with the short wheelbase which gets squerrly at high speed when...

1058871 OK, I found this book : California Desert Byways. Seemed to be just the ticket. I bought it online. Now how about a guide specifically about old mines & ghost towns & such ? History and such. I'm a fool for that sort of nonsense. Hope There are lots of wildflowers in DVNP Easter...

1058874 I Agree, You're looking at a M A J O R project. Lots of downtime what with the weather just now warming and trail time is soon at hand. TJ's arrived in '97. You can pick up a sweet little 97' TJ Wrangler SE from some little girl who has never had it off pavement for Cheap. They are...

1058877 Hossenfeth, Sounds Great !!!! My Wife has been giving me grief over how rusty and raggety my old CJ is getting. She wants me to put it on the block and buy a new Sport which she could drive to work. I'm thinking about it....I like the new Rubicon but as much as these TJ's cost I...

1060016 I'd install fenderwells. I have seen some clean & neat exhaust systems with fenderwells which put the muffler (& catalytic if needed) OUTSIDE the frame rails with the tailpipe exiting just in front of the rear wheels. Clean & neat. Keep the pipes & muffler tight up against the...

1060017 Rear Wheel Disc are standard ONLY on : '03 Rubicn '03 Rear 44 axle TJ's HOWEVER, If you get the 44 option YOU CAN NOT GET 4Wheel Antilocks SO, if your TJ will be your Wife's daily driver like mine will be... I value her safety over tough 44 axles. 4WPW gave me a price of $500 -...

1060018 I wuz wondering about that recently. Are CB's really worth having anymore ? What with FRS FM band radios going for $39.00 and all and lots of trails cell service is active. ~just thinking... [addsig]

1040624 For the last several years, Jeep has limited the Wrangler to a 2,000lb tow weight. But that's with 4.0L I6. With your V8 I would think you could pull more. As to it not yanking you into a ditch the secret there I would think is to have a trailer which is lighter than your CJ. My...

1040625 10-4 Eddie 4X4!! I wired mine to an ign source through a thrmostat. HOWEVER, In the event that system fails at a most inoppourtune time, I have a redundant system which uses a dash mounted toggle sw direct to the battery in case the thermo system quits on me in the middle of a hard...

1040626 Also, I read where the clear plastic in the windows have a finite life expectancy. That life expectancy will be shortened depending how much UV the plastic is exposed to (i/e sunlight) So, if you can : 1 - park in the shade anytime you can 2 - I've noticed a BIG improvement in...

1040627 Yes I wave at all CJ/Wranglers. I finally gave up on Cherokee/Grand Cherokee & Liberty's. I guess there just isn't time to get thier capacino into a cup holder and make it to the electric window switch in time to get the glass down and a hand out before we're gone. [addsig]

1040628 I agree with OHMS. It sounds like the guy is a good backyard mechanic and created his own lift kit. If you buy it, install a well engineered lift kit from one of the major kit companys. Rancho, Superlift, TrailMaster, ect Thier kits have been well thought out, enginnered...

1040629 That's the first time I've heard of any lift kit riding better than factory. This guy's telling us true right ? This ain't just a saleman talking is it ? Every lift kit has always aquired lift the same way. Stiffer springs. I can't tell you how many times I have heard jeepers...

1040921 SWEET !!!! Out here 97 98 99 TJ SE models are available from auction houses for cheap. I mean, I have seen em for as little as $5K. Problem with the SE is that @*&#^%$ 4 banger. As you said, no power. Finally after lots and lots and lots of searching I have found the solution...

1040923 If you install a full roll cage make sure you get a good one !!! As in all things there are good ones that work, and bad ones which don't. A good roll cage will allow flex and as you step over boulders, logs and VW's, the cage will allow your frame to flex keeping all tires in the...

358000 YES, The conductors of current HEI wires are heavier & the insulation too is thicker and heavier. When I buy wires, I think of being about 40 miles off highway, fording a deep stream. I buy the best wires I can afford. And as I install them, one at a time of course, put DIE ELECTRIC...

362000 nocdmerger, I've been looking at Tj's and there seems to be a lot of good deals on the SE w 4banger like you have. One thought I had was.....Blower ? at least a turbo. Theres a website :http://www.turbocity.com/ Which specialize in turbos (duh...their name!) But don't list one for...
