- 1985 cj7 with 258 engine stock as far as i know. dana 30 front with t 176 tranny and danna 300 twin stick transfer case. amc 20 rear end on 6 inch lift with 36 inch tires
Hi guys I have a few questions... I have a 1983 351w in my ski boat that only has about 20 hrs on it. I want to put it in my jeep and I'm wondering if anything internal needs to be done. A friend of mine told me I should swap out the cam or crank bearings ( can't remember which) because a marine engines is softer than a car engines. Is this right. I need to find out if there is anything I need to do to it besides intake and headers and all that external stuff. It is standard rotation and I have a tremac 176 tranny that I read will bolt right up to the Windsor. Any knowledge or advice would be greatly appreciated!!
