Hi guys. Ive been a long time reader of this forum and you've helped me build my dd 93xj. im sadden to say that i rolled my xj while offroading and the body is a total write off....
Ive been reading for 2 days now on engine,tranny, tc swaps and im so confused as well as worried (ill explain):helpme:
heres my situation.....my 93 had only 69,000km when it rolled ( 4.0 ho 4x4, auto, np231, 5.5 RE lift, SYE, 8 1/4 rear) so id like to reuse all i can off this xj. I found a dream xj as a replacement body(2000 4.0 auto, np242,4x4, 313.000km) from florida with no rust(i live in Ottawa, Canada:canada so its a rare find up here. It runs and all but id like to use my engine tranny and transfer case on it if possible due to the millage. i also have a 1990 ax15 tranny with new clutch,,,,
can someone clarify for me what combination of parts i can use on the 2000 model and mods needed to accomplish a swap. Heres what i got to work with......
1993xj(rolled)(69,000km)- engine, auto tranny, 231tc(with SYE), rear and front axles(new bearings, brakes and seals),
1990xj- manual tranny with new clutch
2000xj- full truck im going to buy(extreme leaking valve cover,tc hard to get out of 4x4(truck stays in 4x4), dreaded 0331 head.
Any help would be appreciated as this is my dd. I know id be fine driving the 2000 for now after doing a valve cover gasket and tinkering with the tc linkage but im scared of the 0331 head plus it would be a waste not using all that extremely good stuff off the 93.
Thanks in advance guys for any help you can provide..
i will post pics soon
