Hello all,
Newbie to the forum but owner of 4 jeeps. Couple of pics of my latest project:

 

Nice work, like its supposed to be there

 

Welcome to the forum! Nice and clean Xj ya got there.

 

A woody wagon. Outstanding work.

 

Wow.... nice job, looks great, love to read up on the build. What trans, body mods to fit it, headers used, etc.

Welcome to the forum

 

very nice

 

"Yup, it's got the AMC motor..."

 

More details please. I've often wondered how well an AMC V8 would work, especially since the 6cyl & V8's have the same bell housing pattern.

 

Excellent.

 

Been thinking of that one for decades.

Yes. More details, please.

 

Hey! That's a clean looking project! Kudos to you!

 

Very nice clean swap looks factory all the way a worthy project. How about a few more details.


Welcome to the Forum!

 

Well were waiting. A 340 has been on my bucket list for years.

 

If they weren't so damn wide the best engine I ever had in my 4x4 1 Ton Wreckers came in the Power Wagons the 318 they ran forever in the mountains in CO. for off road recovery. But the size could be an issue in an XJ with so many other good ones to choose from any more.

 

Nice job. It's so refreshing to see someone go through the work of an engine swap, but without using any of the GM crap that I see so often.
