Default Vt man ready for wheeling

Hi people new to the forum and kinda new to xjs. I recently bought a 1984 2 door xj. She is a project but it fun. She packs a ford 302 c4 trans. But I gotta find some parts that I can't find here. Gotta find some seat brackets for the 2 door and gotta find a wiring harness front to back. The wiring is hacked up bad that and it's got some cooked connectors. I am planning on a 4.5 inch rough country lift and 32s. I think it enough lift for wheeling but not to much I can't drive it around.

Thanks for the welcome. I will have pictures of it tomorrow. It's not pretty but I didn't perform the swap. But I'll take pictures of what ever you wanna see.

It has good low but it has a slight hick up higher in the rpm range. Other than that it's like taking a v8 gc and gutting the crap out of it. It is currently running a c4 hook to a t case I am unsure of. Mostly haven't look at it close yet. But the trans makes it a non highway runner. Looking to swap a fuel injected 302 from a wrecked bronco or f150. Plus it will get me an od trans. The big hit is I just ordered a 4.5 rough country lift to bring up the altitude. Plus I have 32s to go on the stock wheels.
