Re: FW: Jeep 4.0 in an American?

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The 88 Comanche I sold several years ago is two wheel drive Short bed.
The guy has stopped planning for the V-8 swap. He works at body shop and his boss his fixing a total by using two Cherokees to make one. His boss is using only sheetmetal and has told him he can buy the complete 2000 Cherokee shell for scrap price!
So, The 88 Comanche is going to become a 2000 Comanche 4X4. Saved from a Smallblock swap, YES! Anyway. I can probably get the front axle and driveshaft Etc from it if it would help.
I will probably try and pick up the front axle no matter what. Just for future reference!
