Needs a turbo rotary motor

Sits about as high as my J10 (I still need to get the 52" military tires)

There are 2 fuses. One in the TCM harness under the dash and the other in the fuse box. It won't stop it from manually shifting though. The fuse holder on the TCM harness in mine was corroded and broken where you couldn't see it. There should be power at that fuse with the motor running. I used a jumper wire before I found the broken fuse holder.

I had a short in one of the front turn signal sockets cause this.

'84 XJ should be external slave. The ones I've had pre '87 have all been external. I even converted an internal slave bell to external with the parts from another one and I drilled the bell for the pivot ball I got from the "HELP!" rack.

Make it SOA and you probably won't need to shorten the drive shaft.

I use my engine hoist to lift off the frame, but I have moved them around by myself (prior to breaking my shoulder)

With a "bit" of work you can change the intake and exhaust to HO to go with the throttle body. :banana:

Was the thin small plate under the crank bolts there? If not, you found the cause of the cracking.

It says 2.5 in his footer.

Lock and key to get the B'Laster deep inside.

The module under the coil is good? Mine quit up in Canada. Fortunately at my son's place so I was able to score the coilpack and ignition module off his and I got back on the road again. There is a repair wiring harness for the CPS that goes directly to the computer as well. Last time I bought a dealer CPS it came with it (in '99). Mine turned out to be a short somewhere that overheated the fuel injection box, but after it cooled it ran another 20 minutes again. Turned out the PO grounded the heater fan to the ECM and aimed the defrost hose directly at it too.

Silly question, but you checked the fuse for the gauges, right? The cruise won't work on '91 without the speedo working because it reads off the back of the gauges that year. '92ish up they added a pin on the trans adapter to run it direct.

When it rains, it pours, right? I need to change my trans too and I've been too sick to do it. Mine is cruising around with 1/2 ATF and 1/2 antifreeze.

A spoonful of gas in the throttlebody will tell you if it's just gas or spark too.

I had my ex-wife get mad and shove the shifter into reverse, but it skidded then locked into park and the motor/trans rotated under the hood several times before punching the hood and floor.

As long as the trans are the same AW4, no issues. Sounds like the driveshaft bounced and hit the bell.

Clean the trans pan and put in a new filter.

I put a 4.0L in place of the 4.2L in my '84 J10 along with an AW4. To get it so I can drive it to town from my cabin I built an adapter to bolt a spare MC2100 to the EFI intake. The injectors stay in place. I ran out of time last summer and the road had a landslide in Dec so it awaits a month or so that I can get up there. GM HEI dist with AMC gear on it and electric fuel pump. Later it will be LPG powered.

PB'Laster twice a year. Even the ice storm in '94 when I was in Calgary didn't freeze my locks and it was 30 below!

I didn't read the list. Was clean the throttlebody (especially the IAC) on there?

It sounded in your other post like you popped the headgasket. Are you sure the orings on the TBI aren't leaking?

I'd go for 3.55s anyways, depending what size tires you plan to run. What motor/trans?
