Very cool rig. How much weight did you gain over the 318?
Emissions-wise, here in Atlanta diesels are exempt. But for gassers there are a few ways to get waivers, including repairs in excess of certain dollar amount and proof that the vehicle is being stored/used out of state.
Fucking sweet!
Nicely Done!
The motor mounts are completely different from those pictures...those were my first attempt, and there was too much vibration.
As for emissions in NY, I raised the GVW up to 8600lbs, making it emissions exempt. I think they still require a visual inspection of emissions equipment for gassers, but they don't need to be plugged in to the scanner. The only thing involved was registering the jeep for more weight, which cost an extra $30 or so for the 2 year registration.
I got started on the NV4500 swap yesterday. I had a pedal assembly out of an xj that I hacked up and added the clutch pedal to the zj assembly. It worked out ok and didn't take very long. I also drilled out for the master cyl, it was already marked. I'm waiting on a new input shaft, and a clutch/flywheel set before I pull the automatic out.
Where is that :fwap fwap fwap: smiley when you need it? That is kick ass!

I did the same thing when I did my ax-15 swap. The XJ pedal ass. is not the same as the ZJ. The pin/pivot point will need extended to the drivers side farther to line up with the stock ZJ clutch MC mounting location. I cut my XJ pedal at the red line and extended it and reinforced some. Also the stock XJ pedal doesnt seem to have enough travel to fully disengage the clutch. I had to redo mine a few times to make it work.
I've never actually seen a ZJ with a manual, I assume they are rare, but don't they exist? Or are they just for non-US ZJs or something? Can't you get a ZJ manual pedal assy right from the dealer or a junk yard? Or were you just trying to save a bunch of money and using what was on hand?
93-94 were the years of the Manual ZJ. But only behind the 4.0. I'm not sure if you can still order the assembly from the dealer.
you can order the Clutch Pedal Bracket, and the Master/Slave Cylinder Assembly, I picked up both, but only ended up using the Cylinders for my swap, and the XJ pedal assembly was modified to fit.
HOLY crap i LOVE THAT FREAKIN THING! what did it cost ya?
You can't just buy one of these.
thats cool to say the least
I got the NV4500 in and drove it down the road today, it's awesome. I don't have any pics cause someone borrowed my camera. It was a large pain in the ass to get everything to fit and work, it took 4 days of work to complete.
I have a crawl ratio of 56.92:1, so I top out at 4.5mph and I can let the clutch out with my foot on the brakes pretty good, and it doesn't stall. It also puffs more black smoke now. I'll post some pics when I get a chance
Any other oil burners that you think will fit?
the 4 cyl engines out of isuzu box trucks would fit better, along with the little mitsubishi fuso engines. I haven't done any research on them though. There is a section for those engine swaps on 4btswaps.com
Thanks.
You know.... I thought the 4bt would hang down a lot further than it actually does. Nice Job.
