Currently doing frame off resto
OK, I'm redoing a 84 CJ7 . It is just about to the fire up stage BUT!!!
It has a 360, SR4 and Dana 300 . Now we all know the weak link it the tranny. I have a boat load of SBC parts from my drag racing days so,,,,, I started looking for a GM Turbo 400 and a TC. Found one local, with a NP203 TC, all for $100!
Well, I made the mistake of asking "what else ya got?" And the guy says " I have a T-18 in that shed.


So I take a look and it is a T-18 B with a Dana 20 and he said $300 for all of it! It does have the piece between the Transmission and bell housing
My question is what will it take to get it behind the 360 and is it worth the effort?
This is just a toy, hobby, weekend goof off, nothing too serious plaything. Just want a fun and dependable vehicle.
Opinions?
