400 Engine Swap in Jeep
Maybe some Jeep experts can help me.....
Could a 400 Chev. big block be placed in a Jeep (I don't have the Jeep yet, so that might make it a little easier) without a tremendous amount of cost? I realize this may be a little out of the usual engine swap projects, but the engine is very cost effective. I'm new to automotive projects and I would have the engine installed by a pro, but if this is really complicated I might consider other options. Thanks for the advice!!!! Patrick |
A "cost effective" engine may not be as cheap as you think it is once you
pay for the adapters needed. What model of jeep are you wanting to put this in? I would start with a call or email to www.novak-adapt.com from looking at their site it looks like they make engine mounts that will work for you. Other more major considerations is the mount to the transmission / transfer case / drivelines / radiator. > wrote in message om... > Maybe some Jeep experts can help me..... > > Could a 400 Chev. big block be placed in a Jeep (I don't have the Jeep > yet, so that might make it a little easier) without a tremendous > amount of cost?

Lots of folks drop in 350's.
They make adapters for almost any engine to fit into a Jeep. try these folks for one: http://www.Advanceadaptors.com/ Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's wrote: > > Maybe some Jeep experts can help me..... > > Could a 400 Chev. big block be placed in a Jeep (I don't have the Jeep > yet, so that might make it a little easier) without a tremendous > amount of cost?

Why go a 400? Do you already have one lying around? Are you after a tourque
motor instead of the POS that they come with? Obviously economy aint your target goal. There are HEAPs of other motors that can be recommended that wont give you the haslles that a 400 will. From memory the 400 would be a little heavy for the Jeep, how about a smaller capasity motor? Do you need engineers certificates in the USA after doing a motor swap at all? > wrote in message om... > Maybe some Jeep experts can help me..... > > Could a 400 Chev. big block be placed in a Jeep (I don't have the Jeep > yet, so that might make it a little easier) without a tremendous > amount of cost?

Or just stick ina Lexus 4.0 litre quad cam V8. 180KW standard and weighs
stuff all. Only 4.0 litre but what it lacks in Cubic inches it makes up in technology.

(the saimesed cylinders made them more demanding of the cooling system.) -Bret |
