thinking about a v8 swap...

[recycledxj]

My jeep is slowly dying and I want to go fast but the wife cut me off for no more projects then the ones I have now....

So since I need a motor soon, I'm thinking of using a chevy 5.7 bolted to a 700r4. This is where things get interesting, maybe using a awd transfer case out of a astro van. Keeping the jeep at stock height using 275 60 15 tires.

Any ideals...

just use a 231c transfer case, still have low range etc that way. It will bolt right up to a 700r4's 27 spline output shaft.
try to get a 700r4 K case and 231c hd from a s10 blazer if you go ahead and do it.

Time for an LSx swap!

I already have a 700r4 4wd k case sitting in my garage along with a np241 t case.

I'm trying to shoot for a wannabe gmc typhoon, just with out the v6 are turbo. So I'm going to go with a awd tcase for street purposes.

Why don't you get a t-case similar to our np242? Has 2hi/4hi PT/4hi FT/4low

I thought abbout the np242, but what I have read the borg worner 1372 ( I think I have the right part number) is a lot stronger then the jeep tcase.

My target with the 5.7 is 300 hp, so I need something that is going to hold up...
