I have a 1982 CJ7 with a Small Block Chev, Scout II Dana 44's, Dana 300 Transfercase Coupled to a Turbo 400. I want to convert it to a fuel injected, 6 cyl, auto. the only good donors I have found are all TC's. Is it possible to Swap the CJ7 Body onto the TJ Frame? Buy the way I am selling all the CJ7 V8 rolling drivetrain.

I have a plasma and welder - anything is possible!

If you are asking if it is a bolt together deal - no.  Body mounts don't line up.  Not sure about the fuel tank lining up on the tub.  TC is slung to the wrong side so that will have to be dealt with. 

Do it and take lotsa pictures.
I cut sheetmetal for free.  It's fixing it that get's expensive.
