Xj350

i bought an 85 xj with a 350 and not sure on trans but its auto. but it runs and i paid 500 for. what do ya think? i love it, needs tlc but it'll be awesome when im done.

I like it, and it seems like a great deal. The only thing I hate is that stupid Chevy emblem on the front. I would put a scoop on the hood as well.

Xj350

Yeah i might get a new hood for it. but i plan on other things first. Like a roof rack and lights. and PAINT, but yeah i still owe him for when we had to redo the exhaust. Still lovin it and can't wait to start spending money on it.

One important question:
Is it a 4x4?

Xj350

not yet. it was and he converted it. ??????????? But it's for dang sure going to be changed back after i beef up the axles, not sure exactly what it has but what is the lightest yet most durable i could put in it to mess around on the Oregon dunes. Originally from there. Help will be appreciated.

Why are there no under hood pics?!

Hell of a deal if it runs, the 350 is perhaps one of Chevy's best engines. Darn things will run forever, spin a main bearing, then continue to run until someone forgets to put oil in it.

I agree with the others, though, that Chevy emblem needs to go. Loving the intake sticking through the hood, old school right there. Not sure I like the sidesteps, they look like they are just bolted to the rockers? Not cool if so, that'll never hold up offroad. This thing will be epic once you convert it back to 4x4, can you imagine this thing in the mud?

Very nice find!

Xj350

cant wait to mud it and also i plan on taking the sidesteps OFF, they make it look lower. hold tight under hood coming in 5-10mins.

here ya go

Itll be perfect as soon as you get that chevy sign OFF. Great buy man, id be concerned with the intake takin in sand and mud though.

Xj350

yeah i might. Or just make sure there is a really good filter in there. Still a little risky.

CodeXJ

Yeah, didn't think of that. Hmm, maybe a cowl induction hood with a standard circular air cleaner? Might have to be a low-profile one though. This thing would look sweet with a cowl hood!

Xj350

yeah. Xj's look amazing no matter what. But yeah. I am thinking of a color to paint it and im very unsure of what to go with. But i can't wait to rip on the sand with my XJ

Ender

Hell yeah that 350 is a beast! Looks super clean too, can't believe you got it for $500! I got mine for $200 which I couldn't believe but it didn't run, and the breaks were bad. But I fixed all that myself for dirt cheap.

Hell yea.... Id love a 350 xj :}
