What are your opinions about using the AX-15 out of my rolled TJ in my 1975 J-10 ! I had planned on putting a T-18 in the truck, but, I just totaled my TJ and the thought is crossing my mind.
1998 AX-15 behind a 360 in a 1975 J-10 ?

I've been running a '99 NV3550 behind my stroker for about 10 years. I've done some decent towing with it and a bit of wheeling here and there. What do you plan to do with the truck? The AX15 is no 1-ton trans, but it's reasonably beefy.

Just going to daily drive it and light wheeling. Nothing crazy. I run logging roads, fire lanes and such from time to time.
My friend has a NV3550 behind his HO 302 in a 1970 Bronco and has had no trouble. He wheels a lot harder than I ever will.
The most I'll ever do is tow my boat to the lake. (Less than 15-20 miles)
As far as my engine, it is a stock 360 4V with a 1406 Edelbrock carb. I am planning on doing the Howell or Holley Sniper EFI conversion. That and a set of headers would be as far as I'll ever take the engine.1975 J-10,360,TH400,QT,

Chevy put the NV3500, which is comparable in strength to the AX-15 and NV3550, in half ton trucks for quite a while. Unless you do something really stupid, you'll be just fine with the AX-15.
The driving experience is WAY better than any stock transmission offered in our rigs.

It is an interesting thought. The 4.0HO that came with most AX15s made quite a bit more power and a bit less torque than a smogger 360. And a SJ is not THAT much heavier than an XJ.1969 M715 6x6
