I will just have to modify a spray gun to accept an AR upper, then you will be set

To help with a little drop, '89+ AX-15 5spd crossmembers give 3/4 inch t-case drop on autos with no loss in ground clearance. Between that, and sye or h&t, you will be perfected

Thanks for the info, there isn't one near me, but there is one by my brother in Columbia, and I could possibly live with him, so That's an option. though if I do that, I'll be able to start after June 20th.

I am normally scheduled 3 12 hr days/nights on, 3 off. Never works out that way though.
I work up to 84 hrs a week if needed....

Yeah, I know....as a CO I would be working 4 days and then off 2, so the days off would change from week to week. same with being a Deputy in my county, but it's easy to get days off as a deputy. I basically just want a job until then, that pays enough for me to afford gas, insurance, jeep stuff, and I'm going to try and get another car this summer.

According to what I have been reading, you can use the front driveshaft with the hack and tap.
Tom Woods sells the true SYE, which is pretty expensive but would eliminate any chances of leakage from the tailshaft, and you have to use their driveshaft. You would have to crack T/C to install new tailshaft....

thanks in advance.

the 7120 and 0630 heads are exactly the same - the only exception being that coolant temperature sensor hole on the rear of the head. If you swap the head it's a non-issue - just use the thermostat port. If you don't swap the head, just get a threaded plug, or leave the old sensor in place and just don't use it.
Your intake and exhaust will bolt right up - no issue whatsoever.

the flexplate you can buy from any auto parts store. Just make sure it's for a 97. Personally something like a flexplate i'd buy factory stuff. The one you need is Jeep/Mopar part# 52118551.
