You will either have to get a new cable driven one, or convert your jeep to use an electronic one. Watch the placement of your motor mounts, or the upper control arms on your suspension will hit them and you will need a long arm suspension if you cant place the motor mounts in a suitable location. You can look at my build for other issues. Im not doing the exact same thing as you, but it could help. Its in my signature. Also http://www.novak-adapt.com/ is a good source for info. I would go through advance for adapters though if you need them. I have heard bad things about novaks customer service, but I have never gone through them. I do know that advance is awesome though. Any direct questions feel free to ask, or send a PM Edit - Also feel free to post a video of you blowing the 35 when you get this thing done. Im sure everyone would love to see that. __________________ My LS2 Wrangler build http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/ls2-my-97-wrangler-pics-540376/ Wheelers for the wounded Great cause, check it out http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=320 753688 A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. - Thomas Jefferson |

Yeah, another thing, here is the link to another Hemi build from a good while back. I found it and it helped me decide to build my jeep up. the adventure begins......... I dont know if it is just the Hemi computer or if something is wrong with my jeep, but..... For some reason, I cant rev mine up in Park or Neutral. I wanted to show off the exhaust for a friend and it wouldnt work. The tach climbed up to about 2800RPM and the exhaust just went quiet.... The needle would keep climbing up until redline, but the motor only made a humming sounding, probably not any louder than at idle. It will rev just fine in gear, but not in park or neutral.... I dont know if this is a safety feature in the computer or what the deal. I know I have seen many Hemi trucks on Youtube showing off their exhaust. | |
