what is that bellhousing? I'm doing a t98 to a 231 and am having issues getting the input shaft to the pilot beating, way short. BOP bell housing and an adaptor isn't lining up

Hi ,again, to put the sm420 trans on, you lose the old trans adapter and mounting holes for the t case. Will you cove that in your next video
@reconern29 күн бұрын
Hi - yes. (1st) engine (2nd) bellhousing (3rd) SM420 (4th) Novak adapter (5th) tcase. thats the sequence. the novak adapter has same holes for tcase. you dont lose holes for tcase. hope that helps. I have that other video with red jeep that might show it better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn2ahoWwZr6jfposi=68miQE1Pc7mGSBgO

I have that 1971 cj5 differential on my cj3b, what kit should I buy? I haven't bought it for fear of buying the wrong one.
@reconernАй бұрын
to be sure. you need to open the differntial and see what you got-count the splines and then you’ll be set to order. I opened mine up and seen that it was a 30 spline dana 44… but some have only 10 splines… Thanks.

thanks for your tip on DIY top. i'm in process making one which doesn't require welding. i'm doing a top for my 1952 CJ3A with a bow already installed, will show on youtube once is completed. nothing fancy, just keeps the rain out and the wind. all local driving, try avoid freeway if all possible and stays on the backroad. why many old jeep with the roll bar cage? it's bad enough the jeep goes 55-60 mph. i love my CJ and will keep it original looks.
@reconernАй бұрын
cool 👍 I was against the roll bar too- but then I started doing hard trails and the realization that I can roll over very easily is very sobering… can’t wait to see your jeep. Thanks 👍

Let me tell you about my dirty little trick that somebody else probably did first. For mounting cylindrical silendri... oh hell, things shaped like a pringles can. I get the appropriate sized muffler clamp and thread 2 extra nuts on the u bolt side of the bracket, and the nuts that came with it inside the panel. I made a fire extinguisher holder and now working on mad max style cup holders.
