Title: Engine swap into which Jeep
Post by: Exdecuk on September 09, 2014, 01:23:51 AM

If the replacement engine gets swapped over this winter i will have a spare 360hp magnum V8 laying around. Now only needing an auto box and axles as my spare ZJ ones wont fit and i have everything needed except a vehicle.

My question is "what would be the best soft top Jeep to put it in" CJs are to expensive but what about the others? The only reason i mentioned the HP figure is if one model would be more capable of handling the increased tq/hp. What about available space, ease of instalation etc

Cheers

TJ stretched and chopped

Think axle change and different everything........ The chassis and body style then become of little consequence


Nice project :icon_super:
