here there are some picture..
now the price of diesel in italy is very close to the gasoline´s price (1,4euro/litre)..
i have heart that i can run with 50% of vegetal oil in the convencional diesel, some day i will try..
i still have installed the manual gear (T176), at the end of next mount i (my friend/meccanic..) will install the automatic trasmission..
to install the aw4 we will use the parts (i don´t know the name in english..flangia d´accoppiamento e volano) of the grand cherokee 1999 that in europe had the VM 3100 and 44RE trasmission..
i spoke with the constructor of my engine and he said that i have 450 libers feet of torque, i´m thinking to buy only:
1) IPT Performance transmission re-build kit. $589USD
do you think also the IPT torque converter is necessary? what are the difference without this?
thanks

The AW4 is actually a fairly solid box, and tolerant of abuse. It was used in the Supra (turbocharged I6,) RWD Toyota van, Toyota Pickups, and some Lexus models - so check the Toyota world in your area for performance mods.
There's only one vendor I can think of offhand that handles AW4 upgrades here - Level Ten (www.levelten.com,) but I don't know if he'll ship to Europe. No harm in askin', tho...
Good luck!

Assuming the AW4 = 30-40LE and/or A340E/F....?
