I got the xj from a older couple in there mid 70s and the gentleman told me everything was stock and from the looks of everything under it it does look to be factory....? Why you thinking its a Chevy case?

It could be a factory t-case. Just kinda an odd one to have. Most have the 231.
As far as an axle swap goes, there isn't many good options for the front unless you go full width. That waggy 44 would be the best possible option for a front end swap.. You could use the dodge one if you built a doubler >

Alright. Let's be serious here. You bought this jeep for $400, and have the opportunity to make it BAD MO F'IN A! I'd love to see it. Just sayin.

I indexed the dana44, 9degrees for correct caster angle ect and the inner Cs have been gusseted majorly and the axle tubs welded solid to the diff housing same with the tubes on the 8.8 and some very nice welds...
The last pic is with it in a buggy that I was building for a friend before he decided to move to California for a change of pace :-(

I do plan on making this a toy and a occasional daily driver, I also have the gas saver 2014 Nissan Versa Note S (and no S is not for sport it is for SLOW) it does get 48mpg on the highway and 35-38 around town depending on how I drive it because it is a standard...
