you may want to speak with joel on this board (web wheeler i think) he ran into some issues putting a 6 cyl. motor that was from an auto in his manual tj. if i remember correctly, the end of the crankshaft was different. give him a shout, im sure he has some good info
yeah i know. i have been able to get through stuff a lot easier than other people who had manuals. i am just getting bored of it and i do more on road than off road lately, seeing as how the only places i go are uwharrie and i havent had a chance to take my jeep to tellico yet, although i towed someone else up there.
