Everybody and their grandma puts v-8s in their jeeps up here,
I know a few cherokees with them. The lincoln town car v8 is a popular one. Last time I went wheelin with a large group I was the only jeep without a v-8...

Anybody have a link on wiring a 350 tbi into an xj? I have the engine but not the wiring harness and computer for the 350 yet, and I'm wondering about what wiring needs to be kept (mostly if the battery junction box needs to be kept or if I need it off the donor vehicle). Also wondering about the gauges, I've heard the post '97 need to be piggybacked off the pcm but I have a '92, will I need different gauges?

I've been searching but I can't find anything but forums that say "use the search button"
