" 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?

" " 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

"  
" 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.
