Buying someone else's junk engine that was more likely than not dogged and abused is a gamble for the time and effort of installing it...plus switch the harness/brain, unless you're talking about buying a new re-man 4.0L and you'll still need a harness..

No one said it was cheap. bolt-on stuff does in-fact increase performance, The Edelbrock head, Banks Revolver header and a larger Carb or EFI 4barrel would absolutely increase performance over stock while shedding weight, dissipating heat faster... even more so with a camshaft upgrade. None of...

If you install an HEI distributor you can skip the nutter bypass. Those weber carbs are okay...I don't see a downside to what you're wanting. Edit- didn't realize this post was from 2020...my bad.

I still have a new Pacesetter header kit sitting in my garage for a 258, I think those have been discontinued now. I have to get that listed for sale eventually. If you ever 4.0 head-swap you have more options for the header, in my experience the Banks revolver is the best one out there.

You can do the 4.0 head swap, install a good RV or aggressive camshaft, add a 390-600 cfm carb/ stay FI or go EFI and have gobs of power. There is literally no need to swap from a 258 to a 242... none!, and don't listen to that stroker bullshit because most of those are only in the 270/300...

I'd go with an Offenhauser intake manifold and a Holley 390cfm 4 barrel carb and get a header. If you 4.0 head-swap you can go with Clifford Performance for the 4 barrel intake and a Banks header, I'd get a 1" space and you can throw a Holley Sniper/MSD Atomic 2 EFI 4 barrel on it. You have...

Like the ole saying goes, spend once, cry once. I still believe these axles built with this stuff would serve my purpose and they would be plenty strong with the parts I selected. I'm just no good at assembling gears...and its an expensive fuck up you'll only do once. The made up hate in the...

Bad part is, I already dropped all that money on all the stuff for both axles many months ago...I also paid for the Yukon Yes Plan for every single part. So, That warranty isn't transferable but as long as I own my Jeep no matter what happens to those parts, I get free replacements... I already...

Yeah, I follow you man, I appreciate your time chatting with me. I may post a bunch more new parts for sale. :LOL:

What is the YJ front axle width 60 or 60.5

The C's are welded on the YJ axle.... need those cut off and welded on the XJ axle with leaf spring perches.

Yes, its the knuckles that are important for the kit to work. Those could be moved onto the XJ housing... I just don't have the skill set to make that happen. I hate axles & gears. I'd rather build engines all day, do suspension work, but I hate axles and gearing.

That's exactly what I was doing, but it will NOT budge and we're even using a 10 pound sledge. So we started drilling it... now its full of holes and should break up.

I've never broke it until now with my madness. I might just get a replacement housing and throw her together with the Yukon kit and the rest of the parts including the knuckle supports and call it good.

I can not go this route. My Wilwood big brakes will not fit this axle, nor will a lot of the other parts I've already bought. :D

I've owned both housings and been in both as well and you've made some great points. So, I've started drilling that bearing... this thing is a BEAR to get out, its fighting me every step of the way... "Not to mention, if you did somehow find a way to slide a sleeve inside the tube, you would...

In different areas of the country, we play different. A rig built for Texas and Arizona may not do so great in the Carolina's or Tennessee and vise versa.

So you've done it then? Did you experience a failure? Are you a fabricator?

Anyone ever install those Iron Rock off-road sleeves in a YJ Dana 30? I remember seeing a YouTube channel Rusty's411 install these on his XJ D30, but there are some differences to say the least, either way, axle tube housing is swiss cheese. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has done...
