Motor question
 

I have a Ford 360 at my disposal, free, what kind of hassle would I have
adapting this to a t-150? I have not pulled the 360 yet from this old F-100,
but once I get rid of the hull, I have to find something to do with this
engine . Thought it might be fun to cram it into the CJ.

Any thoughts?

You might also think about using the transmission from the Ford too. A Ford
transmission to Jeep transfer case adapter might be cheaper than a Ford
engine to Jeep transmission adapter. There is lots of information on the
Advance Adapters site.

Re: Motor question
 

This is one reason I decided to stick with the four cylinder engine. ;o)

I have been involved with a couple engine swaps. The first one wound up
getting redone because the Ford originally used was less than optimal, and
we replaced it with a Chevy. The transmission to transfer case adapter for
the Ford was composed of angle iron welded together (!). One thing that I
learned from this experience is that a free donor engine is not necessarily
a bargain, but the engine that does exactly what you want is a bargain no
matter what you pay for it.

The 352, 360, 390, 427 and 428 all used the same block. Don't recall a
FoMoCo 426...maybe Mopar?

Not me. I like to bash the 4.0 myself. Over powered, insufficient cooling,
adds excess weight, who needs it in a Wrangler? Flat head four banger was
good enough for my dad in WWII...

Earle,

I thought you were always bashing the 'ol 2.5L. I may be mistaken, of
course...

Nawww, he only drives it nightly, when the speed limit is lower
