Advanced Adapters has motor mounts specifically to install the small block 350 into an XJ. It places the motor in such a position that you don't need to cut up the fire wall or the tranny tunnel, unless your also going to use an NV4500 trans. Build a custom trans cross member out of 2x4x3/16 rectangle steel tube. Advance Adapters recommends a minimum of 3" lift if you use there engine mounts; the engine is set low in the frame for hood clearance. I installed a TBI (converted to multiport) in my '88. Had I been able to use exhaust manifolds from either an early truck or from a Camaro, the swap would have been "relatively" easy. I had to use '95 truck manifolds (Calif SMOG requirement because I installed an NV4500 trans!!) that required cutting the frame rails on both sides , as well as cutting out the UCA mounts to clear the exhaust manifolds. Also, I wanted a cool running engine, so I had to do extensive mods to the frame rails forward of the engine mounts as well as a new custom front cross member. I also installed a Grand Cherokee (WJ) steering box to gain clearance between the frame rails. The WJ box fits on top of the frame, adding additional space for a "real" radiator. Mods to the front frame rails (inserted 2x6x3/16 tubing into frame rails) helped reinforce the steering box mount significantly. Point here, if you have the engine out to do this swap, now is the time to address reinforcement needs of the uni-body, and make mods necessary to properly cool the new, larger V8. I've read that the radiator should have an area equal to the engine's cubic inches, plus 50; ie, 400 square inches for a 350 cubic inch engine. And don't forget the fan shroud!
