Chevy 350 swap

[Jeepjeff859]

Starting a 350 swap on my 1986 Comanche. Last year I swapped in a 4.0 to replace the worn out 2.5

 

I came across a 4 bolt main 350 cheap so I jumped on it and decided I would start to collect parts to stuff the beast under the hood of the jeep.

 

Below is a list of parts I have gathered so far

 

1. 1987 4bolt main 350. Replaced rings, bearings , and gaskets

 

2. TBI system out of a c20, included harness , computer, throttle body and some other parts

 

3. 2 th350 transmissions , one of them is a 4x4 version but needs rebuilt and the other is a 2wd version that is good to go.

 

4. 2 transfercases , 1 passenger and 1 driver. Have not decided if I'm leaving the front axle as a Dana 30 or swapping it

 

5. Advanced adapters motor mounts to swap a 350 into a XJ

 

Still need various parts. Looking for a fully loaded XJ harness to adapt control all of the things that don't go with the engine. Will adapt gauge cluster sensors to read the vitals of the 350. Need a stock comanche fuel tank ( have a fuel cell in the bed but want my bed space back ).

 

Have not thought about exhaust or rear axle . Hoping to find a ford 8.8 or Dana 44.

 

My goal is to build a reliable jeep that does decent off-road. Kind of like overland

 

Will take pictures as I go
