so now that it's warmer i can actually go work in the garage and no freeze my balls off. spent a good 1/2 hour looking at the tan jeep and deciding what i am going to do with it.
regardless of what i do to it, i need to finish tearing it down. engine, trans and t-case have to come out... and might as well rip the carpet out since it's discusting.
the new motor and trans will be a direct swap... and i have a 231 tcase i want to put it, but i think it'll need some work before i can install it.
anyone willing to help is more than welcome. i need it since i've never swapped a motor as complex as this (the CJ was hellishly easy)

There's nothing to it, I can give you a hand just let me know when you need help. Just make sure you label everything you can as far as bolts etc, so it is much easier, quicker, and organized when installing your new motor.

if you want to grab it sunday after wheeling thats fine by me. I still need to figure out where you guys are meeting up before hand. maybe we could work something out in harrisburg and I could follow you from there since I have never been up there.

You could use a number of decent ford transfers.You just have to change the tailshaft. My neighbor has plenty of good ones.
