From a good day to better one.

A friend calls and tells me he is cleaning out all the leftover parts from his drivetrain swap. I had asked him before to buy the D-shaft for spares.

 

He tells me to come down and get everything from under the front end of his storage trailer. He said anything I left was going to the scrap in a day or two. So I go to get the shafts. I find the tranny and T-case laying there, with half the front D-shaft and the rear still attached.

 

Well its pouring down rain, and his dog is looking REAL hungry. So I pick it all up and throw it in the truck. Feeling bad about taking the tranny and t-case I call him and let him know.

 

He says to me, if it was sitting under that tarp, I can have it. So I got a good rear XJ D-shaft. A working AW-4 and NP 231 free. Some days the Jeep Gods just smile. I forgot even being annoyed about only half the front shaft being there.

 

 

While I'm in the process, I might as well hijack my own thread. Anyone know anything about the T-4/ T-5 trannies????

 

A local guy has an 84 2.8l 2-dr XJ. He can't remember wether it has a 4-speed or a 5-speed. But he wants to sell it for a project. I know that the 2.8l isn't really a great find. But I have another 2.8 sitting at my dad's farm, and a buddy has a 2.8 EFI Camaro motor sitting that he wants gone. I have to admit the intake on the Camaro motor is really damn cool looking.

Dang man, I wish I had friend's like that! Good grabs though.

Free parts are always nice.
