366000 Driv-wfo, I bought mine with the 304 in a basket and got a good deal. $1900.00 There is a website where you can enter the VIN and pull the history of any vehicle. Flood, stolen, totaled or whatever. Kelly blue book online & NADA online do not show a special edition CJ7 for 86'. So I...

368000 My '77 has the GM TH400. with full time Quadratrac. I don't beleive Jeep ever used the TH350. Note : Gm built the TH350 for 1/2 ton pickups. The TH400 was designed for 3/4 and 1 ton pickups, it was the transmission of choice for tow truck operators. The box is dang near bulletproof If...

371000 lilbillyg , Goto http://advanceadapters.com/index515.html They will have the necessary motor mounts, trans adapter if needed and other info about the hoses. They are the experts on weird motor swaps, and your is probably one of the most common swaps of all.

372000 Look what i found from Moses Ludel, Jeep guru : "I suggest contacting Advance Adapters about a catalog on V8 swaps for the Cherokee and Commanche (same). The catalog will describe necessary modifications and any trouble areas, plus give some idea about the cost involved." If they have...

375000 CJ Nut....(who ain't ?) I'd look at the 4x4 magazine ads. They have alot of advertisers with good deals, however, the shipping may take any savings you find. I'd try to find a local discount place. We have COSTCO they carry BFG's full line My PEP boys mgr told me he can order anything...

378000 I bought my last one from my friends Art & Garner Archer. They own & operate Archer Brothers Jeep Parts. Anything and Everything for Jeeps. 1943 - 2001. If they don't have ti, or, can't get it, they'll make it. Goto : http://www.archerbrothers.com/default.asp?page=Home I fee like...

393000 Yeah, That's why shops charge soooo much. You pay 'em for what they know, not what the do...

399000 Geez...you guys make me feel pretty good about me old '77 304V8. I have been lamenting for years about my 11mpg on highway. I once checked it offroad in low range = 4.5mpg....but that's to be expected. I'm surprised. I would think you're 6's would get more out of a gallon of fuel than...

403000 The best book on Jeeps on the planet was written by Moses Ludel. Moses, as his name implies, is a Jeep Prophet & Oracle. His book the 'Jeep Owners Bible' is available most anywhere that speaks 4x4, even your Jeep dealer. It's usually about $29. Not a whole lot more than the $17 you'd...

408000 If that swell diagram in the last msg does not help, try this : Once, long ago i had the same problem as you with a 1979 ford pickup. I cruised the AUTO ROW in my town and started looking for a truck like mine. I had to go to 3 lots before the sales mgr would let me pop the hood and...

410000 Your Power Brake Booster's large vac hose ALWAYS go directly to manifold. The brakes get full engine vac. ALWAYS. Any vehicle.

418000 Dallas, Yes I would agree with the others. I would be wary of Fibreglass bodies. Not long ago, I saw a Jeep parts ad in a 4X magazine. They had a HUMMER body kit for CJ5/CJ7, fibreglass or course. I went to the website and the description talked about the 'PLYWOOD MOUNTING BRACKETS'...

422000 Well, in '79 Jeep was still in the AMC stable. AMC's small block family was : 290 - 304 - 360 Now lots of folks think the Chevy 350 is a superior motor because : >GM made about 122 Billion of em so the wrecking yards are brimmin with 'em >Because there are so many, new parts are...

423000 Oh, yes. someone mentioned the Mopar 360. Chrysler bought Jeep in 1987. Chrysler has a 360 V8, however, the Chrysler, or, Mopar 360V8 NEVER came off the assembly line in a Jeep. Like I said, AMC/Jeep had a 360V8 of thier own.

430000 Hesitation is not a mixture problem, the accelerator pump is not pumping . do this : >remove air cleaner >look down carb throat >pump throttle once >do you see a squirt of gas ? >NO = accelerator pump inop >YES = vac hose off somewhere.Probably above the throttle plate at the carb base...

436000 Something you should do, we all should do, from time to time replace all your vac hoses. Every several years or so. The cost is minimal and the preventative maintenance it provideds is immense. The worst thing about a vac hose which comes off is that the hose is now sucking unfiltered...

441000 Remember, Backfire through carb = timing advanced Backfire through exhaust = timing retarded As all engines have timing set a couple of degrees advanced, backfire through carb CAN occur with lean mix

447000 Well, Chris has a point. The trouble with having ac in a Jeep is that when the weather warms you are inclined to keep the top on and turn on the ac. God never meant for Jeeps to have ac. That was Chrysler's idea. When it gets warm the top is suppose to come off of a Jeep. That's the...

449000 10-4! REAL Jeepers NEVER put thier top on! I tried it one year. When the rains began in winter I threw a tarp over my Jeep. On those clear sunny cold Jan days I would bundle up and drive. But everytime, I ended up with a cold! I made out better the next year when i put on just the...

453000 Jeep Girl Huh ? Well, you know I always keep my eye out for a future ex-wife.... My girl likes riding & driving our Jeep on and off road but everytime I mention $800 for an ARB or doing a frame off restoration or, just Saturday, I mentioned our local Dunlop man offered me 4 DUNLOP...
