(Jim B? would it?) Kevin... thoughts on this one: http://wagoneers.com/tmp/Diesel_Toy/ALL.html I'll need a transmission... thinking 5 speed is my Aisin Warner 30-80LE won't work. Some minor body work, front fender and hood... The guy is a med student, needs a running vehicle... looks like he'll consider a trade for my '89 XJ. He'll break even on value and should have a good running Jeep for the short term... He hates to part with this thing, just dumped 4k into it... but doesn't have the time or place to work on it... I pointed out that when he's finished with his residency he'll be able to afford a much nicer one... so he feels better now. ;) He won't be back until the 1st... I'll drive by and look at it while he's gone... Anyway, here's what I know: It in an 88 FJ-62 with an 83 BJ 3B diesel swapped into it. I made a homebrew veggie system for it that needs some work, but worked great on the drive up to Alaska. Details: Chasis: 88 FJ-62, 400-500k km. Metallic gray. Frame is rusting through on the inside channels. Body has some rust. Whole front end is warped from going into a pole sideways in Alaska. Interior is fairly nice. Doors are good. Engine: 83 Toyota 3B 3.4L 4cyl diesel. 150k miles (not km), had heads rebuilt 40k miles ago. Don't have compression specs on it, but it was able to accelerate slowly up steep hills. Put out some white smoke on start-up, but doesn't smoke after warming up a couple minutes. Veggie system: Pretty basic, 2nd tank, line-in-line, heated filter, manual switch, all coolant-based heating Tranny: 4 speed, not sure which one. Stuck in 2nd gear I think. Transfer case: Manual 4H, 4L, 2H, N - ------------- this will not replace any operating vehicle I have right now... just swaps the XJ project for this.. it might work out as a straight WVO rig... we'll see... thoughts? pass the popcorn... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:13:33 -0800 From: Jim Blair Subject: xj: SD33T swap into Jeep Comanche http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14123 _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
