85 cj-7

[jmking9]

I dont see too many Jeep projects going in here, so I thought I would post some pictures of mine. Its an 85 cj7. It originally had a 4.2L I6 with a T-4 and a Dana 300 Transfer case. The PO swapped out the 4.2 and put a SBC in it using Novak adapters and mounts. They actually did a very good job on the conversion. The first thing I did after driving it for a couple days was put in a T-176 4 speed that I had bought for a previous CJ. I had to have new drive shafts due to the difference in length from the t4 to the t176. After pricing some Tom Woods units, I got some shafts out of a Cherokee that have the double cardan joint from the factory and had them cut and lengthened. Made a huge difference. I had a noticeable vibration due to angle at the trans case. (Spring over lift) After that, I did nothing but drive the crap out of it all summer. Anyway here are the pics from when I brought it home.
