I6 jeep Engine swap to 350 NEEED HELP PLEASE!!!
 

My buddy GAVE me a 1960-1970 GMC 6000 its got a 2 yr old crate engine
chevy 350 small block with a performance 4 barrel carb. i want to take
the 350 out of the truck and put it in my 1978 jeep CJ-7. the motor is
no good in the CJ its seized up. I have 40 inch tall x 18 inch wide
ground Hawgs on it with stock axles, tranny, transfercase, driveshafts
etc... i did put 4.80 gears front and rear and the thing is a beast. I
can go thru aloot of stuff cause it is so light and with the wide
tires. the jeep is strictly offroad, and its more or less a project. Im
18 years old scraped up some money to build/ modify my jeep. i have
done all the work to it and im moving on to new upgrades. My next steps
are the 350, rockwells front and rear, transfercase, etc... my delima
now is now that i have this 350 i need to know what kind of tranny i
need to get. if i can use the tranny that is in the truck now or if i
could use the jeep tranny, or if i need to get a different one. the
tranny in the truck has a loooot of low end torque, but i dont know if
i can get it to fit in the jeep and how i would go about doing that. i
dont really know anythnig about installing an engine but alot of my
buddies do that are goin to help me make the swap. if anyone knows
anyone or anything that can help please let me know thanks a bunch.
also... i can get I6 for the jeep from a bud of mine who has a 79 Cj-7
that he started on, gave up on cause he found a F150 with a 400 in it i
have all of these options but im just confused on what will work best
and what is least expensive for a college student like myself.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks,
Nick...

There are no easy answers here. "What will work best" and "what is least
expensive for a college student" are probably mutually exclusive.
Understand that a Chevy 350 was not designed to fit into a CJ-7, nor was the
CJ-7 designed to accept the 350. There are dozens of decisions to be made,
and issues to be addressed, before parts fit together properly, line up, and
work without breaking. A good place to start is the Advance Adapters Jeep
Technical Manual ($10.00) and Buyer's Guide (free). Both are available at
www.advanceadapters.com. These do not address all the issues that you will
encounter, nor is Advance Adapters the only place to buy the parts that you
will need, but they do give a fairly realistic picture of what will be
required.

What you propose to do requires a considerable amount of knowledge and
expertise, comparable to what you would get from two or three advanced level
college courses. Do not expect to get that knowledge for free, or without
effort. There are people here too, who will tell you things that are wrong,
or that are not appropriate for your needs. It just makes things more
interesting.

Hi Earle,
The CJ-5 from '72 and CJ-7s were designed to use their stock AMC
304" V8, which is the same size and weight as their 401" used in their
wagoneers. Real Jeeps and their V8s were made for each other.

Ja, but this kid thinks he's getting a bargain with a "free" 350.
