·I've got a 90 YJ with a dying 4 banger. I've cooked up the plan to get a chevy smallblock in there - and yes, I'm too stubborn and stupid (not to mention poor) to do it full-tilt by swapping the rest of the driveline also (the dream is to use an NV-4500, Atlas II and Dana 60 setup). I know about the chance I'm taking! Anyway, my questions are:
- Is there any vehicle I can grab a radiator from?
- Can I use the Chevy power steering pump?
- How much will this drop my front end?
Okay, so the next category is lift. I have a 2" kit on now that has had it. With 30's on, I have maybe 2" of tire clearance and my springs are nearly flat (that's why I asked that last question!) I need some lift! I want 33's and the space for some articulation since I actually do go off-road. However, I need to retain streetability since this is my sole vehicle for now - use is about 60/40 on/off-road. I've got about $600-800 for all suspension mods.
- What's the recommended manufacturer? I've heard nasty things about SkyJacker and SuperLift lately...
- With the V-8, how much height do I need to run 33's and maintain clearance articulation? Should I look at combining spring lift with shackle lift?? Opinions here, please!
Thanks for any input!!
