1987 yj...
 

I had this 1987 Jeep Wrangler basically fall in my lap... It's a super clean rust free YJ, I've owned 3 others much newer in way rougher shape. This one has a gm performance crate small block in it with a Holley tbi fuel injection system. Runs and drives well just needs a little fine tuning. Previous owner painted it, not sure I love the "camo"... Anyhow pics for anybody the cares to see it

I like it! "thumbsup"
Manual trans?

Re: 1987 yj...
 

Thank you!

Yes it's manual, and unfortunately it's the Peugeot BA5... It's probably not going to last long. Actually took it out and drove it a little today... It won't make a good crawler though, it's high performance crate engine doesn't really hit it's powerband until about 3000 rpms... It's fun to drive though.

Re: 1987 yj...
 

Yes, thats the BA10 Peugeot. Good news if you didn't already know is the ax15 is a direct swap in and can handle mild V8 power. Nice Jeep BTW. If it still has the Dana 35 might keep that in mind...

Re: 1987 yj...
 

Yeah, been doing a little research on swaps, both trans and axles. I have 3 used NV4500s out of second gen Cummins trucks that we swapped nv5600s into, thinking about rebuilding one and swapping it in... as far as axles go I have a few sets of 1 ton axles too... but I'm not sure I'm going to do much to this until I get the LS swap done on my Tacoma.

Your Jeep may have a NP207 but the spline count and pattern is the same. Yours may have the 231 also. I think some early YJ's got the 207 tho. The NV4500 would be the best option IMO. And 1 Tons of course would be sweet.
