My buddy GAVE me a 1960-1970 GMC 6000 its got a 2 yr old crate engine chevy 350 small block with a performance 4 barrel carb. i want to take the 350 out of the truck and put it in my 1978 jeep CJ-7. the motor is no good in the CJ its seized up. I have 40 inch tall x 18 inch wide ground Hawgs on it with stock axles, tranny, transfercase, driveshafts etc... i did put 4.80 gears front and rear and the thing is a beast. I can go thru aloot of stuff cause it is so light and with the wide tires. the jeep is strictly offroad, and its more or less a project. Im
18 years old scraped up some money to build/ modify my jeep. i have done all the work to it and im moving on to new upgrades. My next steps are the 350, rockwells front and rear, transfercase, etc... my delima now is now that i have this 350 i need to know what kind of tranny i need to get. if i can use the tranny that is in the truck now or if i could use the jeep tranny, or if i need to get a different one. the tranny in the truck has a loooot of low end torque, but i dont know if i can get it to fit in the jeep and how i would go about doing that. i dont really know anythnig about installing an engine but alot of my buddies do that are goin to help me make the swap. if anyone knows anyone or anything that can help please let me know thanks a bunch. also... i can get I6 for the jeep from a bud of mine who has a 79 Cj-7 that he started on, gave up on cause he found a F150 with a 400 in it i have all of these options but im just confused on what will work best and what is least expensive for a college student like myself.PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks, Nick...
