did the xjs come with a carb 4 cyllender?

[freakjeep93]

i was thinkiing about an old xj we had as a donor and my dad says it had a 4 cyl carberated engine and I'm just wondering if the xj ever came with that?

[Pete M]

84-85 2.5Ls had the carb

[freakjeep93]

okay antidisestablishmentarianism would an xj with that motor and an auto transmission have for gears?

[Pete M]

dunno for sure. The rules-of-thumb weren't as reliable for the early years.

[dunl]

DAMMMMM!

 

Most likely 4.56's, you lucky SOB. :D

[Automan2164]

Rumored that an auto 4 cyl has 4.56 gears stock.

I wouldn't bet much money on that. I'm guessing 3.31 or 3.73 (looked it up on car-part.com)

[dunl]

Jack her up and turn the wheels. ;)

[freakjeep93]

i know whats goin in my jeep oh and it SOA too, only problem is that its has a bunch of holes in the cover so there hasnt been any oil in it for like 5 years. but it should still be fine.

Jack her up and turn the wheels. ;)

 

and the axel is already out and the breaks are seized

[dunl]

Pull the cover. lol

[Pete M]

doesn't matter if it's SOA. the XJ perches are in the wrong spot for an MJ. I'd be very leery about purchasing it.

[dunl]

Used to be his dad's, Pete. ;) No cost involved.

[freakjeep93]

I'm gunna . does it say on the ring gear or do i count the teeth or sompthin

doesn't matter if it's SOA. the XJ perches are in the wrong spot for an MJ. I'd be very leery about purchasing it.

ive already got the axel and i was just gonna mover the perches over to the right spot. how far over do i move them ?

No cost to buy does not necessarily mean no cost to get running.

[dunl]

That's true. :cheers:

Its says the gear ratio in a set of numbers on the ring, or the shaft of the pinion. It will be the number of teeth on each... For example, the gearset I have been staring at lately is a 3.73 in my ZJ... On the ring gear, it has 41 11 next to each other, a little set off from the part number... 41 teeth on the ring, 11 on the pinion. Divide 41 by 11, and you get 3.727, which is rounded up to 3.73.

okay thanks alot man

[Automan2164]

Or, worst case, just count the teeth on both, and divide the ring by the pinion.

 

Rob L.

[dunl]

Divide the ring gear teeth by the pinion teeth, if I remember correctly?

 

For example....41 ring gear/ 10 pinion = 4.10's?

 

Someone correct me if I am wrong here. :huh???: :dunce:

 

Edit: The man in the black hat with the fastest draw wins. :D

[freakjeep93]

alright ill do that tomorrow. does anyone know offhand the width id need to put the perches at ? for a mj

[Pete M]

I think it's 42" center to center.

[Automan2164]

Just wheel the axle underneath the MJ, and test fit it... Nothing is ever set in stone with these things. Once you get it all set, burn the perches in.

 

Rob L.

[Pete M]

You've got an MJ axle under the MJ right now, yes?

[dunl]

Measure the old one.

[freakjeep93]

yea
