Ok I’ve decided to stuff a 327 in my comanche, cherokee, and yj. Wanted to do a 283, but had trouble finding one that wouldn’t take a priest to bring back to life, so was gonna do strokers since I have three 4.0’s but low and behold had a 337 fall into my lap! Then found a couple others in good shape so all should take good rebuilds. Curious if anyone has done a v8 swap besides the ls as to motor mounts and radiators? Will be keeping the ax15’s and getting the Novak adapter. Yes it will be carbed as my uncle is a wizard with quadrajets! The go to guy since the 70’s. Hei Distributor and aluminum heads and intake. Decent cam for what I want each vehical to do specifically. Just need motor mount and radiator info. Many thanks in advance!

 

Sounds like a fun build!

 

it is. Been doin suspension work for the past year. Lift, controls, steering, doin gears and lockers now. Then t case and tranny rebuild while I’m accumulating engine parts. Savin the engine builds for last as I know Chevy motors inside and out…well the old school stuff. Not so much on these new ones. Why I’m keepin it old school. Like to stick with what I know and has been proven. Why I wanted to do 283’s. Awesome and insanely tough little engines that will scream with very little tinkering. 327 same way.
