So I get to attempt a engine swap on the bro's car in a few weeks. Going to be interesting. First time attempting a swap on a unfamiliar vehicle. But before this gets done, I'm also in the midst of trying to rebuild the diffs in the YJ. He ran mismatched gear sets and blew out the crown in the rear. Since he's pushing larger than stock tires, theoretically I should be able to go to PYP and pull both front and rear carriers from a 4cyl automatic Jeep and swap them into the YJ giving us a 4:10 ratio. As long as I use the same shims that are in the YJ now, I shouldnt have a problem with miss-alignment. Nice to have a shop to work in, but a hoist would be even nicer
