I put a 95 wrangler tub on my 85 cj frame....best thing i ever did...i highly recommend it. Cj tubs have weak sides and are twice as likely to rot out then yj. As for little mods: definetly worth the time. I ended up having to rebuild the body mount perches anyway so that wasn't a big deal....as...

don't go with a v8....take it from someone who has done it. Way too much torque for these little guys. I'm taking mine out and going with the 4.3 vortec. unless you plan on working your way throught the entire drivetrain to beef up the weak points you're wasting your time. I ended up putting in...

the fuel pump is definetly working

it just cranks and cranks.......no hint of any firing....but like i said...it has all the factors needed for operation...i'm clueless...never seen anything like this.

vibration due to 1.75" lift it's an 87....it doesn't have the multi port injection of the post-91 years...it has the early throttle body fuel injection

the 2.5l fuel injected engine in my 87 cherokee won't start!...i'm getting fuel, getting spark, and the timing is right on the money...anyone got any ideas???....i'm lost

1063646 Funny, both are broken on my old cj and its quiet as a mouse...why don't you double gasket the manifold???...then the center bolts should be enough to keep it sealed. JUst a thought...figured if mine worked yours might....catch ya later...welcome by the way.[addsig]

1063647 Sorry...never done it...too much cash for my wallet...i'd go weber before MPI...i just like the good old carbed throttle response i get...better on the trail i feel. Good luck! [addsig]

1063651 by the way...i'll have pics up as soon as possible...i'm very proud![addsig]

1063739 haha...soon soon[addsig]

1059848 If you're up to it i'd highly recommend this...way more power for your buck...and i have the parts here at home if you're interested, just need the gaskets...i was about to do the conversion til i bought a mopar 318 that i'm dropping in my...

1059849 by the way...the top of this article explains how this conversion works...http://www.monsterslayer.com/jeep/40Head/40Head.htm...goodluck! [addsig]

1059850 the weber is the best alternative...by the way...you have a 2bbl...there hasn't been a 1bbl carb on a cj since 1974 i think. Good luck![addsig]

1066692 I went with the 318, only cuz of its reliability and inteligent design. I bought the block for $300 and put about $400 into redoing the heads and gaskets. It has been said that parts for these are hard to find, but i yanked tons out of old dodge pickups in junkyards. Only problem i had...

1066693 if you were to cut a small access hole in your floor board, you'd be right where you wanna be. I remember my old tub was rotted out pretty bad and i could see the square nut plate right through the floor...plenty of access when it came time to remove it. just a thought. Good luck.[addsig]

1066695 Well how severely overheated are we talking here?...if it's as bad as you describe, it may be possible your head gasket is seeping. But you may just have a small leak around your pump. Either way you could try the old pepper trick...that never hurt, just put some pepper in the radiator...

1066696 hmm...40 at idle sounds about right for my 258...as well as my friends'. I've never had any problems with too much pressure, don't believe there's such a thing...and in that case i would just worry about those older seals and gaskets, might blow a couple out. i would worry if it drops...

1057593 We all have our hopes and dream projects...but with all due respect you're reaching a little far. If you REALLY want to pursue such a project i'd go for a cj7 frame...for the most part everything form a tj will fit onto this piece of metal...but still many many mods to be done. But a cj...

1057594 4.2l has less hp's which can be fixed mind you!...i love her...dependable...long lasting...and happens to have a WAY longer stroke than any 4.0l...for those of you who understand anything i'm saying...it has REAL torque...not the "artificial" torque added by fuel injection... A 4.2 with...
