300 6 cyl. to 5.8 V8 swap
Finally, I'm doing the 300 6 cylinder to 5.8 351w V8 swap in my 82 Ford F-100. I am also swapping the srod manual transmission to a C6 automatic transmission. It has been quite a process and isn't done yet, but I'm getting closer to the end. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm waiting on some parts, so we're going to start with this part of the process and have another video for the start-up. I hope you come back to see that video also. Thanks for watching.

    That is a 46 to 49 cj2a. The stock driveline is t90 trans, dana 18 transfercase and flathead 4 engine. My 2 cents is that the body is really pretty good and rebuilding it stock, or with a more modern 4cyl would be the way to go. These are actually getting harder to find and worth more stock.

    • @VanGoGarage
      @VanGoGarage Před měsícem

      Thanks for the info. I'm glad to learn what I can about these old jeeps. I definitely think it's a good builder for which ever way I decide to go. I guess I need to go check out some old jeeps.

  • @michelle-lz8tg
    @michelle-lz8tg Před měsícem

    you are lucky to have found this..these flat fenders are now quite highly sought after..you may regret rat rodding it...personally i wouldn't do it...back in the day we used to put small blocks Chevy's in these..327's, 350's etc...there was an adapter available (still is from Adavance Adapters or Novak enterprises..)You wont be able to fit the Cherokee XJ drivetrain into the willys as there just isn't enough room...the engine trans/transfer case are too long for the short 80 inch wheelbase....a more practical swap is to do a chevy 2.8 v6 it's a 60 degree V so it is narrow and only 3 cylinders long...fits in real nicely if you can adapt it to your drive train...a vortec 90 degree v6 shares the SBC bolt pattern so you can use an available adapter with an original drive train (dana18, t-90 transmission).. just my thoughts though...no matter what you decide at least you are making an attempt to save it....oh..back in the day had a full sized bronco with an auto trans that constantly overheated...never solved it, instead hooked up a spare windshield bottle and pointed the nozzle at the front of the radiator...whenever it would get hot i just gave it a shot of water...worked for the few years i had the rig...cheers

    • @VanGoGarage
      @VanGoGarage Před měsícem

      Thanks for the comment. If it had any of the powertrain I would be more inclined to keep it in stock form. But since it's just the body, frame and axles and there are quite a few of these old jeeps around here. I thought I could make a cool hotrod out of it and set it apart from all the other old jeeps. But nothing is set in stone just yet and I may change my mind 10 times before I get to work on it.

    I'm not totally sure the benefits of using gears vs chain. However I think it would be pretty cool and a good conversation starter. I guess you would never get timing chain slack so that's neat

      It was a TCI transmission that already had the parts to hook it up. So I only had to hook up one wire. I know TCI sells the part for witch ever transmission you have. I believe there are 2 different styles. There are videos on CZcams. I think I seen videos of people hooking them up with the stock parts also. Hope this helps.
