Thanks Moses, as an old retired Navy Gunnersmate, electronics is part of training. I like analog over digital, just the way I was taught. As you pointed out drive shaft lengths are always part of a Swap. I already ordered Jeep Cj Rebuilder's Manual, 1972-1986: Mechanical Restoration, Unit Repair and Overhaul Performance Upgrades for Jeep Cj-5, Cj-6, Cj-7, and Cj-8/Scram it should be delivered on the 29th and I have reviewed the five videos you and Tony did on the 4.0 stroker project. I am leaning toward the 4.6 rebuild as I want a complete package rebuild before I pull the old 258. Thanks for the advice and am looking forward to further dialog and sharing my pictures. R/ Don

Hi Moses, I just ordered Jeep Cj Rebuilder's Manual, 1972-1986: Mechanical Restoration, Unit Repair and Overhaul Performance Upgrades for Jeep Cj-5, Cj-6, Cj-7, and Cj-8/Scram but I am not sure if it's the second edition. It should be here on the 29th. Looking forward to reading. will let you know. R/Don

Hi Jeepers, Earlier this year I bought a 1981 CJ7 (first Jeep) 258 Carbureted, SR 4, Dana 300, Dana 30 front and AMC 20 Rear with 86K. I did all the preventative maintenance and minor repairs to get it running smooth (more or less with a feet of new vacuum hoses). The transmission is junk popping out of first and reverse. I have a rebuilt SR 4 ready to go in as a temporary fix to keep it on the road. I guess I have to wait to order a clutch pack until I get it apart and measure to the get the correct size. Following the threads I think I can rebuild the D300 and have now have the rebuild kit, so I will be asking some questions. I just picked up a 1991 XJ Cherokee donor vehicle from a local tow yard for $300.00 it was towed by the police for being a unsafe vehicle No windshield or insurance and I picked it up for the tow and storage bill, PO did not reclaim the vehicle. I want to swap the 4.0 with fuel injection and the AX15 to the CJ. Has anyone else done this swap? I know I need and adapter for the AX15 to D300 as the XJ has a NP231J and I will need the computer and wiring harness. Am planning to transfer the entire hydraulic clutch system to the CJ, What else am I looking at? Thanks Don
