" earlier have a smaller diameter bell. You can use an old model manual

" trans bearing retainer too. 

there's a simpler way - an early '70s 3sp bell, '72-5 or so.  the 3sp
was a t14 with the same nose as the '68 t96.

btw the t14 is also stronger and synchro 1st, and the t96 is marginal
with 4.0 power.

" retainer or the retainer for the trans. The auto is air cooled or I'd
" say get a model 40 V-8 bell -- the model 37 trans should fit it, but the
" model 35 won't. Best to stick with the Jeep auto trans or a newer model
" 998. The Jeep AW4 auto is electonic, but you can easily and cheaply make
" a manual controller -- I did

that's if you can't find the jeep controller.

" 4. As far as engine mounts that's easy -- the side plates from the 199
" bolt right onto the 4.0L. 

for a while, jeep used one hole for a knock sensor, so you have to
ream the mount for a metric bolt to fit - 12mm?  minor.
