I have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Nice 4.0 vehicle. I also just happen to have a Chevy 402 BB with a 750R tranny sitting in a corner. See where this is going? Would this be a marriage made in heaven or like my first 2, in hell?
We have Jeep GCs at work. There is nothing you can do to a Jeep GC to nake it cool IMHO. But, then, they tell me “it’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand”.
From a mechanical standpoint, if you have a full frame, a plasma torch, a welder, and a budget sufficient to buy a compatable drivetrain (and possibly exhaust manifolds), you can fit anything into anything.
Don’t forget to consider the ECU too.
Have you visited any Jeep forums?
Oh, I almost forgot, you ARE crazy. Don’t let that interfere.
Just because you have a BB in the corner, doesn’t mean it belongs in the jeep.
More justification is needed.
Yes, Yes, No, Yes
“Am I crazy?”
“See where this is going?”
“Would this be a marriage made in heaven [?]”
" … or like my first 2, in hell?"
Why not find a nice Nova to drop it into?
phft. Chevelle would be better
It would fit better, but the Nova would be faster. It just requires a little cut in the wheel wells…
