The Good - i recently purchased a 82 cherokee with very little rust in PA. The BAD - 258ci motor w/904 auto trans,np 208 case, dana 44 front, w/lockouts and amc 20 rear. It was a stick truck and the pedal assembly is still there. I also bought for $250 79 cherokee with good 360ci motor, trans and case to put in the 82 but it has quadra track. I am told that the TH400 will not work for me because both differentials are offset on the Q-track system. i do not wish to switch the 82 to q-track. i am told by my local jeep guru Jerry (northfield) that i can (1) put a 727 behind the 360 and use my np 208 case (2) put a T-18 and dana 20 case. to do this i must swap the front dana 44, the pumpkin is on the drivers side on my 82 jerry said he would swap me a passenger side one for free. i will be using the cherokee for towing and light off roading. what will hold up better? I do not care if it's stick or auto i want durability. which is the better trans, case, front and back diff. combo THANX
