OK here's the deal, I have a 96 Jeep 4 banger sitting in my shop. And a T bucket frame with an 8.8 Ford rear end. I can find 4x4 trannys for the Jeep but I have'nt been able to find a 2 wheel drive tranny. Will a Chrysler tranny work? What car/truck? The engine ran great but was replaced for a v8 in a Wrangler. I think it would make a nice 4 banger rod. Any help would be great. Thanks Mick
You can use a cherokee or comanche 2wd 5sp from behind a 4cyl from 87-96 The Hollander number is 400-2132 and is a asin-warner ax5.
Thanks, I haven't worked on Jeep/Chrysler cars so I'm out of the loop on what fits what. I'll look and see what I can come up with. Thanks Mick
FYI it's NOT an Iron Duke in case you aren't sure. I thought it was but a little research showed it wasn't. You might be able to find a automatic tranny adapter inthe 4x4 world.
They used a T5 for a while in the mid-80's so with that said you should be able to get a belhousing from one and use any 2WD T5 that the input shaft is the proper length.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Straight-6_engine The 2.5 L inline-4 was a shortened version of the 258 bored to 3.88 in (99 mm) and de-stroked to 3.19 in (81 mm). The block is basically the same as the 258 with a larger bore and the two center cylinders removed. The head featured a new combustion chamber and port design which was later used on the 4.0L -- the 2.5L I-4 head was stretched by two cylinders in the center. Instead of the standard AMC bell housing bolt pattern, AMC/Jeep engineers adopted the GM small V-6 and four cylinder bolt pattern for their new engine. This was apparently a money/parts saving initiative since AMC bought the 2.8L V-6 from GM in 1984 until the 4.0L I-6 was introduced in 1987. Both the four and V-6 shared the same drivetrain components, whereas stronger transmissions were needed for the 4.0L. The AMC I-4 appeared in 1984 with the new XJ Cherokee and was produced through 2002 for the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Dakota pickup, which used the AMC/Jeep designed four since 1996. Output that final year was 120 hp (89 kW) at 5400 RPM and 145 ft·lbff (197 N·m) at 3250 RPM. This engine was used in the following vehicles: 1984-1986 Jeep CJ-7 1984-1985 AMC Eagle 1984-2000 Jeep Cherokee 1987-2002 Jeep Wrangler (YJ/TJ) 1988-1989 Eagle Premier 1996-2001 Dodge Dakota
they did in 83-86 but the flywheel and bell housing has to come off a 4cyl the iron duke was used 80-early 83 that carried the chevy bolt pattern The late 83-86 used a chevy 2.8 type bolt pattern then chrysler bought jeep in 87 and use a jeep bolt pattern. The 87-up 4cyl and 6cyl bolt patterns are not the same. I know way too much about jeeps and never owned one, but I have sold a shit load of parts off em.
