Well I have been trying to sel my 90 MJ swb with a smoking motor for a while, and just had no real buyers. Well Today a couple of friends came over to make it happen. Since I have a gravel driveway I went and purchased some 3/4 CDX and it worked great.
Here is the donor motor on work area
What 3 sheets of cdx looks like with an engine lift on it
Jeep and engine and lift on plywwod
We ended up pulling the whole drivetrain complete. This made us take a few extra steps, but over all it went off with out a hitch.
First Jeff Unbolted the header and radiator , while I went underneath and unbolted the driveshafts.
Just about the time we got finished with the radaitor and stuff.. it started to mist and rain.. so out came the EZ up and work continued
Derreck being the counter weight while I slowly push the jeep back. Jeff is raising the motor up as it frees itself.
Here the t-case is clearing the front bumper.
There were not many pics taken from this point. Bascially we divided and conquered the rest of the swap. We did find out that the 87 and 90 mj harnesses were different when it came to the alt sub harness. Besides that ... after a lil trouble shooting the engine started right up. Not bad for a lil over 6 hrs work.
