Ok, Here I go:
I have 90 XJ 4.0 and I am going to be swapping in a 350 w/700R4. Non-Fuel Injected with an HEI distributor. What kind of modifications am I going to need to make. I know that I will have to get new motor mounts, do some drive shaft work, and move the trans. crossmember. My questions are:
1. First off, is there a web site that has information on how to do the swap? If not then:
2. Where can I get the motor mounts for the swap?
3. What kind of driveshaft work will need to be done?
4. How will the Jeep ignition work w/the 350?
5. How can I hook up all of the stock in dash guages to the 350? The temp, fuel, tach, mph, and volts. I would like to be able to use the stock guages and not butcher the dash.
6. Will the XJ speedo cable hook up to the 700R4?
7. I will only need one fuel line. How can I modify the existing fuel line to work with a carbuerated engine and how can I disable the return line?
8. I bought a new radiator from Advanced and its a 3 row aftermarket radiator. Will this be enough to cool the 350? Its not going to be a radical motor. It will be around 300 hp/300 lb.-ft.
9. What kind of modifications will I need to make to get the A/C to work? Will I need to use the Jeep compressor, or the GM compressor? If GM, how will I adapt the lines to work with the rest of the Jeep A/C set up? If Jeep, how will I mount the compressor to the 350?
I know this is a long post, but I cant find any other place that has the knowledge that you guys do. Thanks for all of your help guys. I really appreciate it.
