Thanks for all your help and yeah, I think I am the first to attempt this. That's why I'm searching all over for info. I've only seen it done on a ZJ. I think the height will be fine(Certainly MUCH better than the 4bt). My Saw's-All will handle the Cat. A buddy and local Machine Shop can handle the mounting plate and I'd love to use my A/T to save some $$, but I'm afraid that'd be more complicated simply b/c the tranny has it's own computer and takes a lot of input info. from the engine. Why can't it just all be mechanical and simple??? Wouldn't that be nice.
So, in order to do it, I'd have to install a man. tranny into an auto. vehicle(buying/installing, clutch, cable, pedal, cylinders, ....). This then is added to any mounts that are fabbed, 1 new engine, 1 new tranny, 2 driveshafts, ..... I can obviously sell my old tranny which would pay for the new, but my engine will probly only sell for $1,500 at most when I'm looking at $3K for the 4jb1-t.
