Yes, it is easier. However, you cannot make them pass smog in CA. So this is the only way we can make an affordable swap. The 5.2L has an exhaust problem with the stock manifolds. They won't fit...

The latest is: I just got off the phone with the boy. He has a YJ that needs a clutch. So I am trading him rigs Wed and will take the tranny out have the flywheel turned and back together before...
Yup, they have the right spirit
I will PM you mate
The girls had a project of their own
Worked on it a wee bit again today while the girls made Elderbery Jelly. Made them pic their own berries :D

:shocker:
But just think, two light blue TJs on surf boards would be epic :D
Neutral ground ……… Hawaii :D
Might be interesting to put the 4.7 up against the 5.2 :D Could be some fun there

Thanks James
So are we. A few little set backs have put us behind schedule. I wanted to have this done by the first of May, but I don't think that will happen
This weekend was productive. Although it may not look it to the casual eye. We set out to put the NP231 tcase in place of the NP247. I thought we should be able to bolt it, but we found it was...
More is better, too much is just right
Going to be addressing that. We have the stock cooler that was used in tandem with radiator cooler. But not sure how it will pan out yet
I made one up for his YJ, but the alternator wouldn't handle it. So we will recycle it to the TJ which will now have a 136 amp alternator
