ok im going to put a 93 5.0 mustang motor with a c-6 and a 205 t-case in my 97tj and also a 93 ford dana 60 front and a 14bolt rear i started a few weeks ago and im just now gitting around to posting pics !!!!.......... this is what i started with a 97tj with a 4.0 this is the 14 bolt as i was building it back up! i will try to post more pics tomorrow thanks :beer::beer::beer::beerbang:
Ok ive been doing some looking around the net and i cant find an adapter to put a c6 to a 231j case. What are your plans for a tcase? Im kinda tossing the idea around of a efi small block ford in my tj and want to run a auto.

im going to do the twin stick down the road ........i got my front bumper cut down to stuby size and welded it back up . i had to rase the motor up one more inch to git the power steering pump to clear everything no big deal just made a spacer for it . trans mount is almost done then im going to work on doing the stretch and puting the axles in ! more pics up soon
ok well yesterday we got paint on the motor wich looks good in the dark ford blue ! we pulled the old stock fuel tank and got the new rci tank put in the back of the jeep ! i also got the axles the rest of the way ground down and ready to git link mounts welded on . im hopeing to do that today ! oh and im pretty sure trailrig is gay !
ok im slow @ taking pics but we got the rear spring perches moved back four inches and the track bar mount cut off . we set the 14 bolt in but ran out of gas for the welder before i could weld the link mounts on . i cut the old rock sliders off to make room for the new ones !!!! i will git pics up soon
I think you'll like the 5.0. I have an injected '86 from a mustang in my cj7 and am real happy with the power. It's fairly light feeling and puts out pretty good torque. I don't know with the auto, but with the standard in mine it's been nice. Good luck!
A year ago, I would have disagreed with that. Now, I'm thinking auto for the win- it seems like the stock Jeep 32RH trans "starves" for fluid at extreme angles- I've noticed that riding with xjeeper. If I can find a fix for that, I'm swapping out my NV3550 for a Auto.
i know 2 guys with 5.0s in their YJ's and they are bad ass.. good choice of engine; not the typical 350 you see in most jeeps with not-stock motors.
