I'm looking for an aluminum radiator that can cool a Pontiac V-8 on a 99 degree day to fit in the tiny XJ spot. Does anyone have a line on XJ radiators that cool this well and don't kill the wallet?

I just finished welding .25" angle iron and plate to box in the "frame" around my Rusty's lift kit. The Rocky Road rockrails I purchased will not fit with the long arm lift kits I have seen. I'm comfortable to modify what I have, but if you are new to the sport, please consider that you may need...

Anyone got experience with a Pontiac V-8? I picked up a virgin 400 for my 90 XJ for $100. Does this motor accept HEI? Does it use standard Chevy motor mounts? I realize parts will cost more than SBC, but the HP and torque will be well worth it!

I got a killer deal on a 1970 400 cu in Pontiac($100). Only a 2 bolt main, but I plan to build it anyway. I figure the stronger Pontiac mains can take the 400+HP and 500 ftlb of torque. Anyone know if this uses standard Chevy engine mounts? If not, how can I adapt the motor?

I'm sure this is the Wrong Thread. After Searching all of the XJ sites out there, I have become a little concerned. I have seen far too many XJs designed for and engaged in extreme crawling without concern(no roll cage) to either Driver or Passenger safety. We are the future of this sport...

How do I be brief enough? I have a NP 205 (much sought after geardrive) T case out of a '79 Ford F-250. I plan on working this in to my 90 XJ. I plan on small block Chevy power and a T350 or T400 trans. 1'st Q: will the Ford 205 bolt to either? I am also going to run a D60 front that I'm...

I plan on running a full width D60 front. I want to retain the driver's side drop and set-up the axle as it is with the D30(exept heavier) so I can use Rusty's off the shelf Long Arm lift. I have an empty D60 housing that I want to run stock Chevy axles in. Can anyone tell me if stock Chevy...

Does anyone have any experience with fitting an NP 205 T-case into an XJ. I'm using a '79 Ford case w/ driver's front output. Power is going to a Ford style D60 front. I'd like to know about a working linkage set-up. Also, I'm wondering about a X-member, I plan on a long-arm lift and plenty of...

Has anyone run full width truck axles. Ie dana 60 front and semi-float 14 bolt rear. I'm looking for any info on fender trimming, and flares that will work with this set-up. Will the ever popular TJ flares work? I plan on using all the stock supension points, but they will be made much stronger...

I guess I should have included a little more info in my first Q. I've already got 5 new 37X12.5 Krawlers(bought on Ebay for $1000). I am running fullsize 14 bolt and D60 axles. Should I leave the extra length fo stability, or trim them down to tuck the tires into the fenders. The goal is alot of...

Does anyone have experience running a 37X12.50 BFG Krawler on an XJ. I'm trying to acheive at least 9" of lift and a whole lot of fender triming to fit these tires.

I've discovered a great new software (Dyno-Sim) for engine building. Has anyone out there foregone the 4.0 liter in favor of V-8 power? If so; what engine mounts will stand up to 500+LbFt of torque off-idle. Peak Hp on the 383 SBC will be 350 @ around 3500 RPM. Obviously I will need some stout...
