I just might. Though I may just put this off for another week or two since I have a "new" 77 Cherokee that I'm doing a few things too. I wasn't planning on getting this exhaust so soon.

Cool! Did you here what I'm doing to my Samurai..... I'm stuffing one of these and a 4L60E into it.....

hehehehe! I start this weekend, I finally got some YJ springs and my spring over kit in so I'll be very busy for the next few weekends! :cheers

WHY, steve, WHY would you put a 700R4 behind that? dump the 4L80E behind it and have some reliability !!!

700R4....... you mean 4L60E (don't argue they're the same.... I'll smack you!), the Sammy only weighs 1850 lbs. I don't think it's gonna break.

700R4 is the SAME as a 4L60E the only difference being one is electronic and one is mechanical! Dont make me whip out the chilton manual !!!

You just said it's the same but different..... ones mechanical and the other is electronic, usually when you have differences they are not the same.....
There is no reason to put a tranny that big behind a V6......

That's going to be a cool engine for that Sammy. How are you going to route the exhaust? The frame rails are a little narrow to use stock manifolds. Are you going to raise up the engine above the frame or do a front subframe to clear the exhaust?


Oh, and good call on the 700R4. Great transmssion as long as you don't go with an early model before GM upgraded them.

The question is though, what t-case are you going to use and how are you going to squeeze that into the short wheelbase of your Sammy?


As far as getting my exhaust and rear bumper on, that's going to happen tomorrow. Over the next week and next weekend, I'll be doing the necessary fixes on my Cherokee to get it running. Then a 4" spring lift to clear the tires since they rub a little as it sits now:

Sweet, I'm gonna use '95 Camaro/Firebird manifolds from a 3.8 for exhaust and believe it or not the stock t-case with Rocky Road gears will survive! It's got a divorced t-case stock and the motor/trans combo is only 3" longer, so the driveshaft that connects the tranny to t-case will be shortened and the others will remain the same !

OK, this I will agree on, after thinking about it for a while.

I love having friends who have access to a rack to do all the work on. I just need to watch my head a little better when I'm walking around under it.

It sounds a lot better. With the factory manifolds, cats and resonaters, it doesn't sound a lot louder than factory. It does have a bit of a drone at about 2K RPMs. But once I get the LTs on, it should sound sweet.

Anyway, here's a few pics:
