    Once again, Thank you. I will give AA a call to discuss adapters. I think I’ve narrowed it down from your direction to upgrading with either the V6-231 that came from a 78 Buick Regal or the Dauntless 225. Both with about 50k miles and original bellhousing. For the transmission I’m going with 4-speed SM420 with the Spicer 18 transfer case. Hopefully this is a good combination. Best.

    Thanks Moses. Well, you got me thinking that if I go through the change/upgrade I should really consider the T-18 transmission upgrade. I’m thinking 225/231 replacement of the F-134. T-18 replacement of the T-90 but still paired with Spicer 18 transfer case. Will the engine and transmission upgrade with appropriate Advance Adapters be a pretty straight forward conversion? In addition should I consider still adding an OD? I still would like to keep the RPM’s reasonable at 45-50mph (top speed I plan driving) the motor power is to help get over hills in Vermont. Note: The Jeep currently has a front twin stick Koenig PTO winch, will an OD fit with the T-18 and D-18? Any other suggestions on the drivetrain? Thanks for helping me re-think this project. I really would only like to do this once! Regards, Todd

    Thanks Moses. A lot to digest and valuable information. I did order the book this week. I have a low mileage 225 by itself on a stand I plan to rebuild as needed. I’m not looking for highway speeds just enough to manage hill roads. I will be in touch with Advance Adapters. I’m sure they could help direct me in some of the items needed? Thanks again.

    I'm sure this has been spoken about in the past so my apologies. I’m looking to remove my F-134 from a 59 Cj5 and replace it with a late 60’s era Dauntless V6 odd fire 225. My question is there a detailed list or procedure to do this transplant? I wish to keep the T-90 with an overdrive. Any advise or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Todd
