[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 1002833, member: 15952"] So here's the deal... Last time my rig was wheeled, the engine severely overheated quite possibly killing it. For now the jeep is out of commission until after weif and I move and get settled in back in MI. If my 258 is in fact dead, I want to start getting ideas of what engine/tranny I should be looking for. I will want a V8, preferrably carbed since all my propane gear should be able to swap right over (except for a new mixer). I never thought I'd say this, but I think I actually want to go to the dark side and get an auto (reverse manual valve body). Also, for monetary reasons will be keeping my D300 so whatever combo I get will need to mate up with that (whether directly or with adapter). For those that don't know, I have a 107" wb CJ7 with 1-tons and 42s. Currently 4:1s in the D300 and 4:56s in the axles (eventually 5.38s). I have no problems cutting into the firewall or tub to make things fit. So who has thoughts and suggestions? I don't need crazy HP and money is an issue so I rather steer towards parted out vehicles/wrecking yards. [/QUOTE]
