Default 350 engine swap Novak adapters

Hey looking to do a V8 conversion from Novakadapters http://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/p...tegrations.htm. looking at the 5.3L V8 LM7 series i noticed it's a Gen3 will that work with an 89 cherokee? and also manual or automatic? manual is between the ax15 and the auto is the 4l60E whats your opinion? also is it possible to fit a long block in the engine bay?

If you're doing a LS conversion, PM Seriousoffroad. He is a goldmine of info on these.

If you're doing a standard small block, I'm about done with mine. Check my sig.

yeah way to much to pay for them to do it. You could DIY and come out way ahead. Id rather have a LSx miata for that price o.O
