I just got my old 86 Cj7 back from a friend in FL and It had the t5, 4 banger, dana 300. I had sold him a nicely rebuilt 350 and he put the new motor mounts in and the motor sitting there. I have all the old drivertrain and Don't have alot of money with a 2month old baby. So my ? is what should I do, Will a T5 hold up to a 4.0 motor or sold I find a tranny for the 350 thats in it. I like to use the dana 300 but don't have the 500.00 for the adapter for the th350. Could I go buy a th350 with a T case already bolted up with a pass t-cass drop or what. I just want to get ready for Uwharrie this spring. I could sell the 350 and get a 4.0 if the T5 will hold up to 35's.. Any help please and thats for the feed back..
My jeep only has 98,000 miles and the t5 ran fine but the 4 banger needs a rebuild. That's why he put the 350 in and stoped. I just don't know where to start...
Look in the for sale section here. Not sure what years. But the th350 and 205 are very common and affordable. Seems like there was a guy in Fayetteville with a 205 for sale.
