" From: Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " The GM 2.8 flexplate is different from the Jeep 2.8 flexplate " (different transmissions) i know; i was thinking of zero-balanced 2.8s [or 3.4s] with manual trannies. " Mopar used hydraulic 4 speed autos '88 to '92 then electronic '93 up " (only the valve body controller) ...and that's also when the 3.9 went to mpi? another q: i know that 4wd 904s and 727s are the same length, but i've been assuming the 4sp [a500, a518, etc] are longer. t or f? " The 2.8 in my '86 MJ project (actually, my room mate's MJ now) was " 5 speed. AX-5 with either NP207 or NP231. is that one of the late, zero-balance 2.8s? " Jim Blair, Lynnwood, WA '87 Comanche, '83 Jeep J10, '84 Jeep J10 " " From: adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sandwich Maker) " " " From: Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " " " " " Never saw a 3 speed auto with the Dakota V6. " " hmmm... were they all 4sp, or stick? when did mopar start using " electronic autos? " " " The XJ/MJs saw the good 2.8 in the last month or so of production. " " They came with zero balanced flexplates and Jeep used to have the " " plate part number to go with crate motors swapped in. " " sweet! though the 3.4 crate longblock is now out of production... " " did any get manual trannies? " " i -think- an '87-up s10 2.8 flywheel would work. the camaro 2.8/3.4 " won't; it's too thick. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
