Their strength is attributable to their good design, generosity of materials and quality of welds. Unlike other pretenders on the market, these mounts are not pre-drilled, allowing the installer to make precise decisions as to engine placement in the Jeep.s bay. This lack of pre-drilled holes and 3/16-inch thick steel make them insusceptible to collapse under the forces of even the largest motors. The gusseted frame brackets are designed to be welded to the inner frame rails. This allows for strength and freedom of placement. Each mount kit comes with our high-grade urethane isolators that are gauged well for that ideal balance of isolation and firmness. The steel brackets come in natural steel. The large 5/8-inch bolts and all associated hardware are included. These Novak mounts are specifically designed for Chevrolet V6 and V8 engines (Small & Big Block Series) being installed in J-Series Trucks, Wagoneers and FS Cherokees. These mounts are also applicable to the Kaiser M715 trucks if the original frame brackets are not present (Small Block V8) or for Big Block V8 installations into these military trucks. # Fits: All # Models: All Chevy Small Block-equipped vehicles # 3/16-inch thick steel # Not pre-drilled, to allow for greater flexibility with placement # Brackets designed to be welded in # Urethane Isolators included # Includes all hardware required for a seamless installation # Will NEVER collapse! -------------------------------------------- details on transmission/xfr case adapater: Novak: 700R4 / Early 4L60-E to NP229, NP219 and Jeep NP208 Adapter Price: $469.00 - $519.00 The Adapter The Novak 700R to Jeep New Process transfer cases adapter is very compact at only 1.1-inches long for a combined transmission and adapter length of 24.6-inches. The adapter itself is machined of a high-grade aluminum alloy, featuring thick flanges and a heavy cross-section. TH700R Versions These kits are for the square, four-bolt tailhousing 700R-4 / 4L60 or 4L60-E, typically made through 1995. Some 1996 and later versions have a hex, six-bolt pattern tailhousing and removable bellhousing. Click here for this kit. We offer two adapter kits. One for the conventional 700R4 (aka 4L60). The other for the 4L60-E, which is the electronically controlled version of the 4L60. Our kit for the 4L60-E permits you to use the electronically controlled 4L60-E (four-bolt version) with your Jeep transfer case. Note that you will need to mildly modify the 4L60-E tailhousing to install the included vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Also, make sure to plan on connecting your transmission to the GM ECM (if doing a GM engine swap) or get a standalone electronic transmission controller, available from GM, TCI, Jet, B&M and others. Any version and year of the TH700R-4 can be adapted to the NP transfer cases, including "90 degree" (Gen. I, II, III V6 & V8 Small Block or Big Block engines). Transmission Mainshaft Replacement Every kit comes with a new output shaft for the Turbo 700, whether for 2wd or 4wd transmissions. 2wd versions work equally well as 4wd versions. The Novak output shaft is of an alloy steel, precision splined and hardened for a superior interchange. This shaft connects the 700R output directly to the existing 23 spline NP / NVG input shaft for the strongest combination. Installation requires disassembly of the transmission main assembly, and we recommend the services of a transmission professional. The basic installation is 3-4 hour bench job and may include simple gasket and seal replacements. Some choose this as the time for a more thorough master rebuild and update. Transfer Case Input Gears The included 700R-4 output shaft splines in directly into the OEM Jeep input gears, and transfer case disassembly is not typically required. # Fits: All with 700R4 or Early 4L60E Transmission # Includes: Adapter, transmission output shaft (23 spline), stainless steel base mount, seal ring, gasket, seal, fastening hardware, reluctor ring (4L60E only), speed sensor (4L60E only) and instructions ----- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** ----------------------------------------------------------------------
