Default Re: 73' CJ5 with 4BT, D44F, D44R Project

I agree IMO I would stick with the old school 4bt. The CRD is a very good engine, but it will be more costly for maintenance, as well as what drive train will bolt up.

Hmm, that is true on both accounts. I would think the 4BT would out live the CD and not use all the electronics that may go bad sooner then a GP relay.

Ok, a 3-page "Build" thread for a build that hasn't even started yet.

Stop yacking and start wrenching!
