Blown Away

[YJwonderboy]

Wow, I love my father to death right now. He said something to me, that was utter music to my ears. WELL! We all the know that the YJ's furious fighting ferrets are great and all, but are a little lacking without some major...um...tweaking? SO, I was whining a few weeks ago, well a month or ago actually, about me not really liking the 4cyl.
Now to the cool part. He comes up to me today, and showed me an issue of Petersen's 4wheel & Off Road, and there was a ford bronco with a 302 motor in it. Well...he says to me, how would you like to put one in the YJ? I was totally just baffled. I knew my dad grew up with muscle cars and all that cool stuff but it seriously blew me away. SO, if all goes well and we follow through with this...than I'm doing a Ford 302, conversion! Woot!

Start doing your research now, as you'll be changing engine, transmission, transfer case and rear end with that swap to do it right.

I considered that swap for my 94 YJ. Would have gone 302/NP435/NP205 (I already have a Dana 60 in back)

Hmmmmm....Quick turn around...from being sold to pay for damages, to doing a remodel on the YJ. So did you already pay for damages to the other car?

yea whats up with that

[YJwonderboy]

WELL!!! Turns out that the damage to the cars wasn't as bad as originally assumed. My mom's car was only $1400 worth, and I believe the insurance picked that up, with the $100 deductible. Which I have to pay back the $100. And however much my mom's insurance goes up, I'll have to pay for. THAT, and I believe if my insurance goes up, than I'll have ot pay my own insurance. But hey it could be worse...I could be without a Jeep...and that's just not cool. But yeah, i'm doing my research. I'm thinking about taking the motor, tranny, and transfer case from an old Bronco, and putting that in the YJ...just gotta make it all fit ^.^
