I have a 1986 XJ with a weak 2.8L V6, I getting ready to start my build this week. I have purchased a rough country 6.5 in long arm kit,"waiting on the control arms acourse!" I have bought Mickey Thompson baja claws in 35 12.50xR15.
Now I need something that can power that platforme! I ran acrosse a Chevy 305 out of a wrecked camaro. Does any one have some advice on how to do a chevy small block conversion painlessly. I know I need to get rid of the AX 5 transmission. Should a guy just replace every thing or go the adapter route. I am trying to do this build on a budget, so I am trying to swap, trade, and barter as much as I can. I want the most bang for my buck.
