Hi, wondering if anyone has any info on doing a 4bt cummins swap in a cj7. I am thinking of doing this swap and dont know much about these motors or what kind of trans they will bolt to. I am looking for better mpg. My 285 has a crack in the block and i think a diesal swap might be cool.

The guy said that he put the lift on and he couldnt get into it because his knee is messed up and he took it off. He said they were never driven on. I would think ill need a drop pitman arm and new drive shafts and brake lines.

http://www.rocky-road.com/cjspoa.html....any one ever try one of these lifts? looks like the steering issue is taken care of and the perches look pritty good. My biggest worry is getting the perches welded on at the right angle and it looks like thay have that all figured out so i can just bolt it on and weld it if i want later
