Re: 88 Jeep Wrangler re-power
I decided that I would re-use the existing built 700r4 that was in the Jeep. It was built with all the upgraded components, and had a non-lockup torque converter so it needed no electronics to run. It also had very clean fluid and no clutch residue at all in the pan. I would later regret this decision to keep the old school transmission and hook it up to the newer school engine.
The engine compartment also was really in need of some work. It had dirt, a little oil, and 30 years worth of buildup on it, as well as 24 years worth of me drilling holes and changing things. My goal was to weld up everything that wasn't needed, and basically clean it all up prior to the new engine going in. Power washing was the first order of business.
