Atta girl. Looks good.
finished putting in the 241 with 4:1.... not exactly a bolt in but close enough. next up... gears. and maybe i'll wash the green off it.
i got the case from an 02(ish) rubi tj and i put it into a 99 xj. i had to "clearance" the ribs in the floor above the case and notch the tranny mount with the plasma cutter. other than that i used two front drivelines and swapped the factory yokes. the speed sensor was plug and play but the indicator is a 100 dollar fix through jb conversions. all said and done.... well worth the 300 bucks i've got into it!have been thinking about this swap. how close was it to a complete swap?

what exactly is wrong with your xj that you are parting it out and not planning to put back together til winter?Swapped my D44 & radiator over to my buddys XJ while my XJ is down, so that he will be locked for NWF.
Drive the DD to sun lakes and back full of camping crap. I noticed the DD has vacuum disconnect front, I didn't know they still had those in 91.
'91 was the last year of vacuum disco, in an XJ. YJ had it until the end in '95.
