wolfpackjeeper Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I was wondering about the LS1 F-body style long tubes. It seems like one of the main problems with these motor swaps comes down to getting a header that fits. But The SLP long tubes could not have fit any close to the block on my camaro, so maybe this swap would be easier than a strait 350 swap. What is he doing for gauges, and what transmission is he running. I am assuming that it is not a T-56. Other than that it looks great. This has been on my list of things to do for some time. In fact, when I had said camaro I was always kind of hoping that someone would hit it hard enough to total loss it so I could snatch the drivetrain and electronics.

GaruMJ Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 For gauges he is doing a xj 97+ complete interior conversion, and the transmision is from a Tahoe( If I remeber right), an dfor the headers are custom made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Is that an AMC20 rearend? And if so, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Offroad Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Is that an AMC20 rearend? And if so, why? AMC20's in the MJ were 1-piece shafts and are a great axle. Stronger than any other axle ever offered in the MJ's (including the D44). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I didnt even know AMC 20's were offered in the mj. Learn something new everyday. As far as I know, though, all AMC 20's, while having quite beefy ring and pinions, have very flexible housings. So is this the same 20 that was offered in the Waggy?

The AMC20 axles are great, tough axles. The CJ versions were weak until the one piece conversion was done, but then they can easily handle the power of a big V-8. The Waggy 20 is definitley the best of them with the strongest housing and one piece stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have never heard the AMC 20 referred to as a great tough axle. :huh???: A 78/79 Ford hp60, a Gm corporate ff 14 bolt, are "great, tough axles." The 20 has a notoriously weak and flexible housing. But to each their own, I'm sure the 20 is sufficient if you run a small enough tire. In my 20 years of offroading, i've never once heard of the 20 as a great, tough axle. I know the ring and pinion are beefy, I also know the cj units with the 2 piece shafts are less desirable and more weak than the waggy units. Hell, I had a amc 20 under a cj-7, it held up just find with the 4 cylinder... :D But that sure as hell wouldnt be my axle of choice behind an LT1. :hmm: Some more amc 20 info, http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticles/ ... ndex1.html , my favorite line in that one, "the amc 20 is marginal in a stock application. And some amc 20 tech, also describing its tendency to flex, http://www.jpmagazine.com/techarticles/ ... index.html . Great and tough, i don't think so. Adequate for a smallish tire, semi trailed rig, absolutely. I didnt even know AMC 20's were offered in the mj. Learn something new everyday.

Pete M Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 In my humble opinion, the AMC 20 is quite under-rated. It's gotten a bad wrap from the CJ 2-piece shafts, and the ginormous weight of the Waggys (5k+ with passengers) sitting on them. The MJ has neither of those drawbacks. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I would tend to agree it is an underrated rear end. I would just wonder why on an MJ with such a beautiful suspension and such a great powerplant, they would stuff a 20 back there. There are so many better choices that would be a better match to the suspension, HP combo that beast is going to have. I would at least truss it, the weakness is in the flexibility of the housing. Trussed, it may likely last forever. Good luck anyhow on a sweet looking rig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
