On another note, Check the bearings to make sure they didn't come apart in the top of the column. There are two races and a large spring keeps pressure on these bearings. When the column gets loose or someone didn't re-assemble the steering wheel correctly as in replacing the factory wheel...

Your steering column is a GM style and they can be rebuilt for under $50 if you need the top bearings replaced. There are several hidden screws and the pivot bolts need to be removed to tighten the main culprits for causing that loose feeling. Before re-assembly you will want to clean the bottom...

CJ's have the engine slightly off to one side. There are lots of reasons why Jeep did this. On a lifted Jeep it isn't a problem but stock there was just enough room to fit the small diameter front drive shaft between the pan rail and the TC. If the engine was centered the front driveshaft would...

I used rear springs in the front and they ride really nice. I used stock lift shackles or maybe if they are lift it's no more than 1/2", I made them myself out of 1/4" plate. I have a spring over axle out of a Chevy 3/4 ton 77 pickup that I shortened both ends to get it at 56" wide. I put an ARB...

If it's the factory poly tank, you do know how to convert it to a 20 gallon tank in less than 10 minutes or did you buy a 20 gallon tank?

3X on the "Not a fan of shackle reversals". I pretty much 100% agree with jps & bounty on this issue and with regards to checking your type of shocks and springs because they are right about the ride quality. A huge variation like night and day depending on brand of spring and shock...

Hey thanks for the kind words there Doubledrop! I know what it's like to be buried up to my elbows in old Jeep wiring especially when it's been frankensteined for an engine conversion It can be very intimidating. Fortunately GM accessory wiring is fairly straight forward. Rick

What kind of alternator are you using? I have a CS-130/CS-144 style alternator in my Bowtie powered CJ-7. The engine is a 2000 Vortec with 1991 TBI junkyard injection I robbed off my Suburban that was parted out for Jeep parts. It is super easy to wire up and even easier to fool into upping the...

Re: Transmission swap Aren't you lucky to get my first post on this forum....J/K! I've rebuilt or swapped numerous SR-4/T4/T5 & T-176's in CJ's. T5's were optional in 82 yr to 86. One could also get the T-176 "heavy duty 4 spd" in some of those years as well. The "world-class" is more a...
