I agree, and as I said before, I think he is running too tall a gear. This engine was mated to a 4 speed trans in a car with 14"tires and 3 something gears. The Wagoneer has much larger tires and only a 3 speed trans. Instead of adapting the engine to the 3 spd trans, i suggest adapting the 722.X trans to the transfer case so it will have a lower first gear. Just my .02
