***Edit*** this doesn't explain double Cardone setups, but its still pretty cool.... Here's the best demonstration I have ever seen:

yes. you can fit a bbc in a yj. I recently saw a YJ with a 396 in it (same physical size as a 454). I would sell the big block and buy a good 350, much easier swap, but with enough time and money, you can basically fit any engine in any vehicle. Just for funzies, here's a blown V8 in a Mini Cooper.

You should remove the cylinder head and take a peek inside. A head rebuild and/or a new cam would be cheaper than a whole motor. **edit Actually, I would probably start with a leak-down test

I'm callin' BS No way that thing does 75 🤣

That first cam break-in run is soooo satisfying.

Copy that! Clamp in vise "just so" Slide 13/16 wrench under it, and WHACK it a few wood tomes with a 2lb drillin' hammer. THANKS FOR THE ASSIST!!!

I got a new boot rubber boot for above the shifter lock cup thingy, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to pop the upper shifter off the lower shifter. 4 little tabs holding a square shaft. Specialty tool? ...bigger hammer?

I have to consciously set straight and not try to "square up" with the steering wheel or I will get a back ache after a couple hours.

right on! glad you got it sorted out. I threw my track bars away and have never regretted it.

Prothane and Daystar make really good body lifts that come with all new hardware and polyurethane body mounts. These kits don't use spacers, they replace the entire mount with a taller unit. I have the 1" Daystar BL on my jeep and am quite happy with it. I added a 1" motor mount lift and a...

I have GMRS and I can talk to CB's because I have one of those too. but you are correct, GMRS radios won't communicate with CB's and vice-versa. cbs talk to cbs and gmrs talk to gmrs, ham radios can talk to everyone.

Update: the 5th/R shift fork has what is called a "shift interlock" its a steel ball that moves between detents in the 5th and reverse shift rails. it locks one shift rail in neutral when the other is shifted into gear, ...anyway the passageway that the ball rides in, is drilled (machined)...

Nope. Not even if I let it roll back. It's like reverse no longer exists. There's not even so much as a little divot where reverse used to be.

No weird sounds, no warning. I backed into the driveway last night with no issues. Today I drove to the store and there is no reverse. It doesn't even feel like it tries to go in, no grinding, no nothing. It doesn't even feel like the slot where reverse was is still there. It's like it's...

The only issue I have with the UCF skid plates is it's kinda hard to change the oil, otherwise they're tough as hell. They have better clearance and are way more "slipplerly" than the stock unit...

Admittedly, I'm not familiar with with the Webber conversion, I'm pretty familiar with carburetors though. I was a boat mechanic for a while and saw a lot of fuel line issues. Do you know what the fuel pressure is without the regulator? (that's just me being curious) fuel line is cheap and...

could be a few things; looks like those rubber lines are reaching the end of their service life. what do ALL the soft lines look like, including under the jeep? cracked, collapsed or kinked fuel lines can cause all kinds of problems. did you get a bad fuel pump? (it happens) I recommend...

looks like they're the same. https://www.ebay.com/itm/283916087541?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5337789113&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

Don't remember the brand, but it's not Napa. I got it at the local Federated Auto Parts store the Master cylinder is aluminum (slave too) Everything seems to be working properly so far.

It's external. I replaced both pieces with a pre-bled unit and the master failed after 15 miles. That was the last complete unit the parts house had available, so they just warrantied the master. The bleed screw is on the top side of the slave, but i'm not even gonna try to bleed it. it is...
