Member biggoofy told me to check out this link. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/t...-np242-685644/ I'm doing this swap tonight I hope. I got my 242 out a 97 zj straight 6. My 97 zj has the 318.

T case swap
Both are excellent write ups. I started my swap this evening. Went to drop the front d/s and rounded off one of the bolts connecting the d/s to the t/c yoke.

Drove really nice. I had to change the rear drive line. It has a external slip yoke. I haven't tried any of the 4x4 settings yet,but it sure turns nice in parking lots.

No on the front D/L. Not sure I need to but there's not alot of room for the yoke to move. I had to change out my front axle. So I have a Cherokee front D/L.

Gotcha. My original axle had the cv yoke,but the the one I found to replace it had the u-joint style. The drive line is from a cherokee not sure what year.

On my '97 ZJ I had the CV shaft (type 3) replaced with another ZJ shaft that had the u-joints w/the dust cap on the sliding yoke (type 1) below.
