Are you aware the stock Jeep used an adapter between the Buick V6
and V8 bellhousings and their Borg Warner T-89, T-90, T-14 and T-15
transmission? Yes, Novak will make an adapter for the AX-15, and
Advanced will not. My first Jeep adapter bought from Advanced was for a
Muncie M-22 to a Dana 20, in '69. First engines into a CJ-5 were the
Buick 350: http://www.billhughes.com/buickV8jeep.jpg and Olds 455, and
of course the 350, and 400" small block Chevys:
