The metric pistons were a re-design with embedded skirts (silicon) to cut down piston slap.

Metric pistons? First I ever heard of this? Are these 4.0 pistons, is
this some early-AMC vs.late-Chrysler marketing crap?

I found a lot of trans dimensions, but oddly, the one that would be a 
'deal killer' (shifter under the dash? in the middle of the seat?) is 
never listed!
 
Yeah, I occasionally look at ePay but was puzzled why the 
non-needle-bearing trannies go for the same as the WC? I am in SoCal, 
I'll likely find one locally anyways.
