that's a lot of fab work when doing a swap like that. my fathers 63 had the same conversion 225 and a sm 420. he used a aluminum turkey pan lid to cover the trans. gotta be creative with jeeps. It's mine now. I installed a Warn / Saturn O.D.. had to redo the cover and used a pan off a automatic transmission. having to modify the OD shift linkage was a real job. cut weld cut weld. repeat if necessary I always like seeing what others do.
dude - that's cool (turkey pan) why didn't I think of that! trans cover - thats another one i should have used.. Those are good ideas. yep - I make something, and it works for a while, and then we have to upgrade. it's ongoing. Its fun! Vintage Jeep life.. haha..

LMAO I love the Daisy Duke meme at the end. 👍 Nice work guys. Will be awesome for the gearing.
thanks scubasteve 👍👍
I like that twin stick. Ive got a dana 18 with a single shifter. Id like to put a twin stick set up on it! Nice job, well done
Thanks 👍
When ever l do that much work clutch and bellhousing trans trancfer etc l just pull the engine trans transfer all as one unit. Less work on your back.
yup - was going to do that. but just decided to just go for it. Another option would be to take the body off. Thanks 👍👍
how much was the novak adapter for the trans case to sm420?
the last one I bought was like $450 with shipping. The Neighbor bought this one- so I don’t know the exact 2023 price.
