Re: v8
Tony,
That's a darn good question but sorry I don't have an answer. What I
do have is an opposite question. I have a 318 cu in w/ under 100 k
miles. I was wondering which model Jeep this might fit into best.
Don't mean to butt into your inquiry but between the two of us I expect
there will be a variety of answers, lol.
Good luck,
Steve

Re: v8
Tony,
You can find most of the answers here. http://advanceadapters.com/jeep.html
The Advance Adapters site and manuals have a lot of useful information, not
only about which parts fit, but also some philosophical material on why you
might want to do an engine conversion. I have found out from life, that you
want to find out why, before making any substantial investment of time,
money, or energy. The Ford engine can be made to fit, but the engines that
will "bolt up" are V8s made by American Motors Corporation.
I once had the misfortune to be involved in an engine transplant into a
Jeep. There are many parts that you need, in addition to bolting up the
engine to a flywheel and bell housing. Unless you have the equipment, and
like fabricating engine mounts, for example, it is better to use something
that has been used (a lot) before. The best choice might be a late model
Chevrolet V8, because of the large number of conversion parts which are
available. One of the most amusing experiences was an engine mount bracket
from J. C. Whitney, that was supposed to move the Chevy engine one inch to
the right, to clear the steering box on the Jeep. After we bolted it up to
the engine, damned if it didn't move the engine one inch to the left! A
call to the vendor proved futile.
Steve, there is no reason to put a 318 into a Jeep, unless you want to
prove, how clever you are, or that you have too much spare time on your
hands.
