Ok, quite new to this Jeep thing. Just picked up an '89 YJ.
Question 1 - I'd like to do a V-8 swap someday. But apparantly the rear axle won't hack it, but one from a '96ish Explorer will. My question is, it must be next to impossible to find an Exploder with 4:10 gears? I know a 350 would have the power to turn a higher ratio, but lower gearing would be nice.
Question 2 - Nothing seems to be said about the front axle. Does the front end handle the extra power?
Thanks for now, as I'm sure there will be more to come! Lol.
