Lets say one had a CJ in need, low cash, and happened upon a 4.0 Long block. (complete minus intake, and accessories)
What else needs to be done to get this thing to run carburated?
I obviously have to ask about the fuel pump. In tank is ready for it, but can you run the stock 4.0 fuel pump, or do you/can you put a 258 pump on it?
Distributor.. Does that need to be replaced or modified, with what or how?
Intake, a 258 intake will go on?
Less obviously, how do i get things like temperature reading to work again, and is there anything in the engine that requires the ECU? The thermostat will still open without ECU control, right?
This is going into an otherwise stock '79 CJ5 drivetrain, does that bring any special concerns? Stock '79 bellhousing, right? What pilot bushing gets a T150 input into a 4.0 crank? Stock CJ one?
