True SBC is more common than SBF, main reason I can think of is the availabilty of SBC GM put them in just about everything imaginable parts are cheap and they are quite easy to build. Around here SBC swaps are the more popular choice as well but I've seen alot of people who are swapping in...

"Ford 302 (not as common and you have to swap your front axle over to driver's drop"--302's are all to common of a swap and you do not have to switch to a drivers side drop axle. The 302 is practically a bolt in motor. the only specialty parts you will need are some motor mounts. Ford...

Well, Seeing as how the tubs are almost identical between the CJ and the YJ it would be as simple as unbolting the CJ tub and re-bolting it to the YJ. the differences lie in the fuel tank filler location--that is easily moved around. I am not sure about the front clip compatibility but the CJ...

There is a forum dedicated just to Jeep strokers Jeep Strokers • Homepage since all these guys are "supposed" to be is talk about the stroker motors I don't feel to bad posting a link to another forum. The longer crank snouts are 2.5197" and the shorter snout that is required is 2.126"'s If...

Swap your axle first. If you swap the motor out then youre jeep is going to sit until you do the axle swap anyways. Ford 8.8 from an Explorer will be just fine for what you want to run. Several +;s for the 8.8-they are plentiful, parts are easily found, Disc brakes if you get them out of the...

Joops before Jeeps

It has been done, a guy here locally has even done said conversion when I asked him about it his thoughts were: If I had to do it again I would just sale the CJ5 and buy a CJ7. I have a fiberglass CJ7 tub that I originally purchased for my 82 CJ7 that torched before I got to do anything with...

I have built 2 strokers built on the 4.0 platform. Stroker kits for the 4.0 are the MOST overpriced stroker kits you can buy, especially for what you get. The kit includes a crankshaft for a 90 Wrangler 258, Rods from a 258 new 4.0 pistons that are bored over .030 rings and bearings. You can...

i wouldn't say the 2.8 is that bad of a motor. It will last for quite a long time--this is mainly due to the simple fact that the internal engine components never see any stress generated by power as the engine doesn't have any. As many have said a GM v6 would be the perfect swap. I...

Yes they will work, with some work as already posted, You really aren't going to see much of an upgrade in strength although if you decide to do it I would recommend some coilovers and installing a 4-link setup into the wrangler and ditching the leafs altogether. The Cherokee axle is already...

I see said the blind man to the deaf guy

Are you Sure the brakes aren't still holding it on. Just because it turns freely doesn't mean the brake shoes arent' preventing it from coming off. Brake shoes ride in the middle section of the brake drum and over time will create a lip on either side of them where they wear down the material...

Close Don, Its a BOSS 429 Jon Kaase is making a reproduction of them. Sorry that it's not Jeep Related but I'm answering a Question. BOSS 429 is considered one of Ford's Hemi's (in reality it is a Polyspherical-I'll explain this part later) There actually are a Ton of Hemi-style motors out...

I joined up a couple weeks ago and posted a hello in the CJ column but saw this one here today. Name is Keith and I am from NW AZ. I have a 79 CJ7 I picked up not to long ago and an in the process of building it up. This is my third Jeep, my first was a 91 Cherokee and my second was an 82...

I cut a deep gash in my right thumb that got stitches and then proceeded to put a nice hairline fracture in my left thumb so both thumbs are out of commission so doing just about anything really sucks

I believe it twists off

For more power and less cost than either the 6.1 or the Viper motors you could stuff this one under your hood PLUS It uses a Carburetor so there is NO stupid ECM crap to deal with.

you squeeze the white plastic that sticks out of the end together with your fingers and slide the Grey plastic off of them. If you look at the grey plastic on the sides you will see retaining nubs that are part of the white plastic pieces. Sometimes you might have to physically push the...

If you want a challenge with a motor that will throw down some serious numbers, spin Higher RPM's all day long and still has a VERY strong aftermarket suport--WHY aren't you swapping in a 429 SCJ??? especially if you are going to run a Ford drivetrain. a Ford NP435/205 combo will bolt directly...

Nope, that is all you will need, pop the old pump out and snap this one back in its place. the top of the pump is the cover for the tanks hole.--COOL Logo BTW
