[D24TCJ5]

My name is Nick Summers and I drive a 1981 Jeep CJ5. A wrangler for those unfamiliar with Jeeps. It has a 1982 D24T swap. It's the only one like it that I've ever seen. I'm from Plainfield, Indiana. I joined this forum because I'm trying to make this engine as reliable as when it came off the line. And if anyone's interested in the build I can include some pictures tomorrow!

Thanks for your time,

Nick Summers

Feel free to ask questions as well!

I would love to see some pictures! This is a swap I have been interested in. How do you like the power of the d24t in a 4wd? What transmission/T-case combo are you using? And last of all, Welcome!

Thank you! And to answer all of those questions quite simply I love it. It is a crawling machine. I could probably climb a tree with it if I had too:p But I do not know what transmission is in it. It is a 5 speed manual if that helps. I bought it and the guy did the swap but the engine was not complete. It had a cracked block and a warped head. Bored it out to remove the small crack and Cylinder scarring. Threw on new injectors and new turbocharger but I don't remember all the details. It was 3 years ago haha. But it is a wonderful engine now that all the kinks are straightened out.

Here's a quick drive by

Also the transfer case looks like it is out of a Bronco. You have a lever for the front dif and rear dif. Mighty strange.
