Tranny swap to ponder...........
Does anyone know if a a904 tranny will bolt up to a Jeep 4.0L?
Mulling over building a drag Jeep XJ (Cherokee) because the 2wd versions are cheap and light and pretty tough with a 4.0L. I prefer a automatic for drag racing and there are a lot of race goodies for the a904 and NOTHING for a 42RE. |

The 42RE is just a 904 with an overdrive added, there are a lot of race parts for it.
Many '94 and later Jeeps with the 4.0L came equipped with the 32RH which is just a different name for the 904. |

But my point was that a fully manual valve body and a 3000 stall converter would launch a 4.0L powered Cherokee pretty well. A 2wd Cherokee weights is less than 3000 lbs. Very basic, very light. Uniframe construction. No heavy frame. |

Where's the starter on a 4.0? If it's on the pass. side, there's the answer (no). If it's set-up same as a 904 and the rest of the bellhousing bolts are the same, maybe?

Anyway, there are shops doing the electronic trannys now, so why not just get a Jeep-specific torqueflite and re-do the guts ? One shop does come to mind for good info, www.smrtrans.com.

NONE, because it is ugly and boxy, not because of performance potential. For that very reason I want to build a 4.0L to be a V8 killer. Wouldn't be that hard with a turbocharger with water injection to keep detonation down. Doesn't that sound like FUN? I have done the big v8, big gears, big cam, big carb, muscle car. Went to the shows and everyone had exactly the same setup. BORING. |

Boring? Absolutely! I have always wanted something a little different and can understand where you're coming from! My wife is very mean (at times!) and when we are at shows she will run over to a tri-5 chebby and say loudly, "Look honey, how unique, there aren't any other cars like this one! The others are all different colors!" LOL
