I have a 1988 YJ with an automatic and I've been told that a CJ Dana 300 will mate right up to the auto. Has anybody done this? What other work is there involved with this swap? Obviously I'll need a front axle with a drivers side pumpkin... It looks like the Dana 300 hangs down, do I need to make changes to the skidplate? Does the Dana 300 bolt to the skid plate the same way the NP231 does? Will the shifter(s) come out in a good place? If anybody's been there and can shed some light I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
Chris

What kind of automatic transmission do you have?

may things "can" bolt together, it becomes a question weather we "should" though.

1) you already have a drivers drop front axle, and a 300 is a passenger.
2) don't even think of those junk "flip kits" to make a 300 work up side down. JUNK.
3) what are you doing that the 231 won't?

No, nothing other than the fit to the tranny is a bolt up.
Shifter, floor mods, mouting to skid plate mods,.

The worst part is spline count on diffrent d 300s and spline of the tranny make it so you have to take it all apart and count teeth to varify if it would bolt up.

YJs are designed for a drivers drop case and front axle, so even if you swap front axles, it is no lock that any part will be easy.
