So it looks like I am going to dive in head first and swap out the 230 with a V8 that Fisherman found for me. :eek:
Watch this space for updates.
I will try to be better about posting up pics than I have been with other projects.

Let me know if you need pics of a 360 already in place.
We'll see who gets done first. You and your wimpy 360 or me and my 4bta :D

Thank you for cutting your teeth on this. I plan to put the AMC 401 I have in my second truck. I'll be glad to follow your progress. I think the frame horns may be perfect allready--but I'll let you find out all that. You running the stock tranny behind it or what?
they sit to high and arnt as heavey duty as the motor mounts out of a full size jeep. Just finished putting in a 360/ t18/ 208 in mine and didnt even have to cut the rear drive shaft SWEEEEEET.
I am going to run the stock T98.Quote:

Someone that has done it before can chime in here.
You won't need pictures, you'll have the J truck sitting right beside your M truck.. It will be easy as swaps go, a lot of work, but not much to figure out. Use the J truck cable clutch linkage?? or go with new hydraulic stuff?? The bellhousing will dictate where the motor mounts are to go. A little cutting, welding and new input shaft install. Possibly new clutch stuff, install power steering box, bolt up everything and hook up fuel lines, electrical etc. I think after doing mine this one should be quite a bit easier because you have all the pieces.
aw crap did you buy phil's truck? I wanted to buy it. I just pm ed Todd to see if he had talked to him yet. Da-- it
