I knew I would catch grief for the show Jeep,but I have nowhere to play and it will be a nice eye catcher to cruise around with my wife in.
What tranny would you recommend? I know the T18 is the best,but that is like finding a 401,and the gearing in the T-150 isnt the best for highway use.
I'm going to try and use the D-44's out of an 89 Cherokee will this work,and I was wondering if you could get 5 on 5.5 axles for the D-44's.
Yeah, I always have to do things the hard way. That is why I'm in this room.

Well, you have a concept "show Jeep",
Have you done a plan yet? (list what you want it to have)
Evaluate what you want with what works - sounds like you've started eng/tranny/t-case/axles - don't forget the wiring harnes and the added goodies to make it <gasp>LOOK good <sigh> R U sure you want a gear box over a slush box tranny? Lot'sa automatics out there that fit the AMC bolt pattern . . .

Check the "for sale" board here and other Jeep Boards for parts. If you can help a fellow Jeeper off-load some inventory that's better than buying from corporate America in my opinion.

MC or Fuzz will have the answer to the Cherokee axel and somebody has a T-18 they aren't using I'm sure...

Well I thought I had it all planned out,but then I keep running acrossed better parts and better ideas. I have kicked around the idea of an automatic, and actually have a couple, but to me it ain't a Jeep if you ain't shiftin' it.
I have a pallet rack in my barn and one whole shelf is dang near a whole Jeep in pieces(all new except for a scavenged grill). I still need a few things like a wiring harness,seats,and alot of time.
I have alot of used parts I will be getting rid of and I will be parting out the 89 Grand Cherokee. I'm also going to pick up a J10 this weekend that I will be parting out. So if you need anything let me know.
Meanwhile, I will look for a T-18 if you think the T-176 won't hold up.
Thanks for all your help.

[Mudrat]

If your going to rod it at all the 176 won't hold up long. Long enough to find an 18 but don't wait to put it together. and Yeah, I know just how finding "something better" make the program last longer
