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!

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.
