Jomanche

UPDATE: Project has been at a stand still…. of course due to COVID and other issues. The manch is now at another garage with a bed full of parts waiting on the time for someone to get to it. The main hold up now is when the old engine was taken out so was the engine bay harness. The harness / fuse box that I got out of a similar year XJ had different connectors on the ends. I need a harness and fuse box….. So Pete M and others my question is this…. Is there an after market harness and fuse box that is plug and play with the LT1 and MJ? Any help getting this jump started and going again would be greatly appreciated.

Pete Had to send them pics as they were going to look into it in the mean time and do a little research to see what other solutions there maybe. I didnt want to have my guy beat on the frame rails as we've all seen in Youtube videos. So I'm patiently waiting to hear back from them. I also looked thru some of the epic build as you've suggested and nothing really popped out at me about other options to use. One guy tried a few sets to no avail then eventually modified a cheap set.

Yes Sir called and talked to them to confirm. Just too tight especially on the drivers side. Any flex at all and they’ll be bumping and grinding.

The headers I got from Novak are way too tight with not any clearance to the frame rail. Anyone got any ideas on what’s worked in the past?

welp no luck as they were both electric

cool thanks!!! I have access to a 92 and a 95..... be having it pulled tomorrow!

Will any manual roll regulator work from an 86-01?

anyone got a nice 2WD? might just drop a LS in it and lower it this time hahahaha

Thinking about pulling the doors and just putting them in the garage,

Ok so we got the engine harness back from the shop. Fuse block from the yard, Tranny and NP 231 are getting the good once over at Erie DriveTrain, Inc. (814) 833-8866, FYI Scott does exceptional and reasonable work. front and rear gears,,,,,,,,3:73s . Engine mounts. Headers in from Novak along with tranny mounts and 23 spline and LT1 4L60E adaptor kits. etc etc its been a bigger deal so far. Going back to to the yard where there are 2 beautiful 92 and 95 XJs with tons of nice parts, Going to pull the pedal assembley, battery tray, visor clip and left window regulator. If you need parts hit up Tony at Bizarro's Erie Auto Salvage and Towing 455-5741..... tell him what you need and some clean jeeps will appear. I also have a good running 4.0 110k ish that we just pulled out of the beast to trade out with the LT1. Really nothing wrong with this motor at all, lots of life yet. telling ya. if it wasn't for tor the BA-10 going itd still be in there, kinda regretting it unitl we get the lT1 in there up and running.

Just a little bit of research an this makes sense... Lower Power Steering Shaft for 84-94 Jeep Cherokee XJ and 86-92 Comanche MJ Finding these two XJs is sure coming in handy. Might just get me an XJ. LOL

What year XJs steering shafts would be compatible with my 88 MJ? Mines locked up and won't slide......

Score at the parts yard today. This beauty is out of a clean 92 XJ. There was also a 95 that had a nice one as well. Never realized how bad mine really was until after seeing the salvaged one. Another victim to a clutch master cylinder. Like Pete says check it before it’s too late!!

Well the engine bay is rattle red. Going to be at a little bit of a stand still as we figure out and get a fuse box. Anyways..... Engine mounts next.

Pete, What year XJs? or pre what year should I say?
