i know with any i6 to v8 swap is very hard this and that. but wouldnt the 305 be easier of a swap in than a 350? or would it just be more worth to do the 350?

 

i think 350 might be better than 305. you're gonna run into the exactly the same issues with both.

 

yes go 350 ,yes there are adapter kits for that from were i forget off-hand

 

350 and 305 are exactly the same, except in the horsepower dept. put the 350 in you'll be sad if you dont..........

 

X2 Just do it and take many, many pictures.

Heck how about a 6.5L Duramax Diesel, same fit and lots of torque

 

X2. As stated for the work and expense involved you'd be happier with the 350 IMO. Same amount of work and money, mostly same parts unless you go with a carb rather than an F.I. set up. F.I.= better performance and MPGs, and you don't have the fuel starvation issues when off-roading you have with a carb. JMO

 

Good idea Russ. I'd like to see that swap.

 

I would do it for the fun of it! , But I never have any time these days.

 

You've got a great attitude Russ, and it looks like you appreciate a challenge.

 

More than possible. Reality. FrankZ has a write up on NAXJA I think. He's on here too under the same user. Talk to him about it.

 

lol no no no u dont want a 350 you want a 572....or in the diesle department def a 24v cummins lol

 

If a Viper V10 can be messaged into a PT Cruiser, sliding a Chevy small block in an XJ would seem like a piece of cake. Only problem I see is spending time and money on installing a 305.

The 305 is nothing but a boat anchor. 350 would be the wise choice.

 

Exactly what I was going to say.
