Hey everyone, hopeful someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a 1978 CJ5 with a t-150 transmission connected to a Dana20 transfer case.
I have been looking online for the past few weeks looking for an adapter to connect the 1.9 to the T150 tranny.
This is the first time working with VW and any suggestions would be welcome.

They are great engines, but short on torque. Most stock are 90-100jp with 155-177 FtLBS of torque. Not exactly a rock crawler scenario. Obviously it can be maxed out and work perfect depending on what you want to do. As far as adapters etc, look here for a starting place http://www.cotybuilt.com/hardware.html
Not wanting a rock crawler, going to be a daily driver and affordable to take on longer trips.
If it works out then I have a CJ2A that I may do a swap with also.
I checked cody and unless i read it wrong they will only do conversions in house and wont sell kits.
I checked them out but nothing to an AMC transmission just chev and the newer jeep 4.0.
guess I may need to get a adapter made. I am surprised nobody has done this yet for a market.
I would email randy he makes electric vehicles and has been making adapters for over 25 years. He might have what you need just not listed. The dodge 4.7 adapter wasent available till after i asked back in July.
well I called and nope he wont do it, looks like i am on my own to make an adapter.
I have a couple friends that have done swaps to Toyota's and everyone likes a challenge so we should be mocking up something shortly.
I am still puzzled why nobody has made anything to adapt to an AMC tranny, would have thought it would be popular.
I just found this thread... I found the same thing when I went to put the ALH in my cj3a.... No one makes an adapter, so I made my own. Still working to get the swap done, but hope it works out and is successful! Its been a lot of work!
Couldn't you go with a gastodiesel vw to chevy or ford adapter then a advance adapters chevy or ford to jeep adapter . besides cost its doable I think.
