350/700r4 in jeep.

I am wondering how hard would it be to put in a 350 and 700r4 tranny in my 99 xj with the 4.0 I6 and auto tranny. i want to run sum power so what kinda tcase am i gunna need to take the power. i already plan on upgrading to dana 44's front and rear.

I know a guy here that is running a 700R4 with the 4.0. He has been running it for about 3 years and loves it. Sorry I dont have any tec on the subject yet but I will see what I can get the guy to tell me on monday.

Do a search, there are plenty of threads on this.

also check out Advance Adapters for all the parts needed to do this swap. im loving the sbc in my xj!!!

how hard overall was it to do and what tranny/tcase r u using??

A NP205 or NV as it is called now is bullet proof. I had one in a blazer with a 327 SS running 12:1 pistons and it took a heel of a beating!

so what is involved in putting the np205 behind a 700r4 in a cherokee??

i used a stock transfer case from a s-10 blazer. same as a jeep transfer case only with stronger parts and bolts right to the 700-r4. the overall swap wasn't that bad. i opted to build my own motor mounts so i could place the driveline where i wanted it. this alowed me to use stock driveshafts and crossmember location. chevy rams horn manifolds or f-body manifolds are an alternative to blockhugger headers. the radiator is the biggest problem as there is no room with the steering box. its possible that one for a wrangler v-8 swap would fit? check out some pics here but its still not finished...prolly never will be. lol :roflmao: http://www.fototime.com/users/[email protected]/my%20pictures
