A friend just bought a 88 yj with no engine-trans-case, dana 30 front(good), 35 rear(trashed), 3inch lift springs, 1 inch motor mounts and front shackle reverse. Jeep also has a full cage installed. He is looking to make a Tellico thrash mobile and make it as low buck as possible. (HA!!..HA!!). Here is what we were thinking since we have located the parts already. 97 4.0 six with 91 through 93 FI 727 with np 208 case. Out of 91 Grand Wagoneer (already has fixed yoke) Dana 44 front out of Wagoneer AMC 20 out of Wagoneer or...GULP.. a gm 12 bolt. Both have six lug spring over conversion to run 35 inch tires He also wants 4.56 or 4.88 gears and lockers for both axles and will purchse them. So what do you think? What flexplate would I need to mate the engine to transmission. A 4.2 auto? We have also thought about using a cherokee 4.0 auto and 231 but wanted to avoid using the TCM controlled Trans. Also the 727 is stronger and shorter. Tell me how you feel. Thanks James
