I need to do a swap soon but i'm still undecided on what I want to do.
I was originaly thinking of the 3.4 swap but that still leaves me with the weak ass 5spd trans and a 207 t/c
Then I was thinking about a 304/360 with an aw4 and a 231 but thats a lot of work and I sure as hell dont wanna spend $500+ on a custom rad to keep it cool.
So now i'm thinking of trying to stick in a 4.0 aw4 or ax15 and a 231 but I've heard that the engine compartment is different. I know the rad and cradle are different but anything else?
Also, does anyone know if a intake and carb from a amc 258 will bolt onto the 4.0 head? I dont want to piss around with fi right now, just a simple carb,and maybe add a megasquirt fi system later
I know the 3.4 swap would be the easiest but i'm kinda leaning away from it and the 304/360 would be the hardest for fitment and cooling reasons.
Would the 4.0 AW4 or AX15 and 231 swap be pretty straight forward?
I know it will not be a straight bolt in, but how close would it be?
Thanks for any help
