Ok so I'm going to do a 350 swap, I've never tackled a conversion like this. I'm wondering about the old electrical system, and axles. Any tips will help, thanks

I did a 350 swap ftom a comanche with a 2.5 motor and a manual tran smission
You would need to keep just your wiring for your lights and run wire for your ignition switch

What year jeep do you have and how much of a budget do you have?To swap in a 350 you gotta swap the trans and probably t case and most you can use take a adapter kit.It can get pricey things add up like having both driveshafts made most local places charge 250 to 350 a driveshaft.

OK here's the scoup
advance adapters for engine mount
local radiator shop to change intake and return hoses use all metal jeep radiator or get one custom made
local drive train shop to mount gm yoke on front of drive shaft
need thought er cable ftom 4.0
need to replace fittings on ps pump
need to cut away frame to accommodate radiat or hose
front raditor bracket needs to be customized
can use late model exhaust manifolds from camaro
wiring harness needs to stay just cut out what you don't need
ream out electric fuel pump just reinstall and use manual on block
new trans lines
need secondary fuse block mounted in engine compartment
duel electric fans with relay
speedometer cable ftom existing jeep
will be off by 10 15 mph
that's just the tip of the iceberg I got over 6600.00 invested but that includes sandblasting and rims tires and other accessories
contact me if your doing it and hell yea I would do it again. I know all the mistakes already

You don't cut the frame. I got a circle track rad for mine and it fits like it belongs. The bottom 4 inches is useless because of airflow blockages. Been driving mine for two years with zero problems. Didn't use any kit either. Blood money. I built mine. Only $2500 in it.
