Re: 4.0 Humpster Update

The 4.0L has just abnout the same power as a stock 76 360. Plus it's a bit lighter! Car should be a dream to drive. My 4.6L is great, though I need to bump the idle up just a hair, and get a bigger throttle body. The AW4 is good, but I sure would like a five speed! I don't think I'll convert this car, but if I do another I'll find a five speed. What are you running for a rear gear? Jeep XJ/MJ used 3.08 with the AX15, I assume you're running a little more -- maybe a 3.15?
