89 MJ Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I have decided I might LS swap my MJ because it knocks, misses, has an erratic idle, and leaks oil. That said, I need one of these: https://www.morris4x4center.com/chevy-v8-v6-to-jeep-ax15-bellhousing-adapter-kit-manual-transmission-168t-flywheel-and-gen-3-engines-aa-712567v.html If you have one for sale, please lmk.

Jeep Driver Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Follow his build. No one will have one of those adapters just laying around and you won't get one cheap and you don't want that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schardein Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 When I did a 5.3 swap in my CJ, I used the Novak adapter plate to adapt a Chevy truck bell housing to a NV3550. The later Chevy truck bell housing has a built in mount for an external hydraulic clutch release cylinder. They make a similar adapter for the AX15: https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/adapters/engine-to-transmission/ax15/kit-gmax15/ When initially preparing for my swap, I found a guy local to me that had an AA adapter bell housing, flywheel, and clutch parts laying around and I got it for cheap. After some mockup, I didn't like it and ended up selling it to buy the Novak stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
