It is a 327 out of a 68 Impala. The cylinder numbers are stamped on the intake so I do know those. And I also know the firing order. But I'm not sure where they go on the distributor.

I'm swapping a SBC into my 84 CJ7. Anyway this project has been on and off for the last 5 yrs (due to moves). I'm about ready to fire it up again but somewhere along the line the plug wires were removed. What is best way for determining which spark plug goes to which spot on the distributor...

Somebody may correct me but I heard that flat towing witha a Dana 20 was fine. But flat towing with a Dana 300 could be dangerous to the components.

I've been on the Novak website but I was under the assumption that due to the SM465 I had I would need the Option II version of the adapter. This is the one that requires a new main shaft. Is this correct?

Well I finally did get it to go in. This was after a good tip in another forum to have somebody push the clutch in then wiggle it to get the last inch or so. But now as I look at the setup I am concerned with driveshaft length. I am using the SM465 and NP208 (got them both for 100 bucks). This...

I'm swapping a Chevy 327 into my 84 CJ7. Motor is in the engine bay. I got a SM465 and NP208 to put behind it. Well today I just spent about 4 hrs trying to put the transmission behind the motor. I can't seem to get the last inch or so to go all the way in. Am I missing something here? (I have...

Does anyone have any experience with the clutch likage setup for the chevy V8 swap into a CJ7? I have this kit from advanced adapters that I bought a number of years ago which allows me to bolt the kit to the block so that the bell crank has something to attach to. So that is fine but the gap...

Ok, I'm in the middle of my sbc swap in my CJ7. I finally found a transmission and tcase for my swap. I got a SM465 with a NP208 (with adapter). While I would have rather had the NP205 I couldn't beat the price for them. Now I have zero experience with a slip yoke. What kind of issues am I...

Well I think I found a SM465 NP208 mated for 200 bucks total. Isn't the 208 a slip yoke? Is this bad? Would it require anything special to go to my jeep axle? Or would I need a chevy driveshaft?

That's a good point. I hate adapter kits.

I found an undercoating gun local when I lived in KC for 15 dollars. It was at a hole in the wall paint provider. It took quite a few phone calls but I found it. Do some more looking online and call all the local paint stores in your area. A quick search for "undercoating spray guns" on yahoo...

Well I'm still struggling to locate what I need. I have a 84CJ7 with a SBC already in the engine compartment. What I wanted was a SM465/NP205 to bolt right up to it and be done. But I can't find that combination local for less that 500 bucks (and that is junkyard with 30 day guarantee). Well I...

"If you have a Dana 300 then it would be worth buying the adapter bellhousing in my opinion." Adapter bellhousing to which transmission? It is just a matter of what I have on hand. Since I had a T18/20 on hand I was just going to use that. Now that I found out I have a T18A/20 it won't bolt...

Sure thing, just bring me that pretty blue Renegade! ; )

Well I have a 78CJ7 with the awful T-150 3spd. It's decent Jeep but the motor is a little wore out, smokes a little. Not sure what I can do to help this. But I'm thinking I can put the T18A (I have the bellhousing stuck to the transmission too) behind the 304 just fine. Not sure, too many...

Hello and welcome back! While I have never done this you are in the right place. Lot's of good info here. I have heard that it is pretty easily doable except for the gas intake is on the wrong side and one of the body mounts will need to be moved. Good luck!!

Well I'm working on my SBC swap. I was originally going to use my Ford T18 to the Chevy motor. But this weekend I discovered the transmission is actually a Jeep T18A. So it won't bolt up to the motor w/out an adapter. So I would rather have a straight bolt on transmission and t-case. I have...

Looking for a Chevy sm465 and the mating transfer case for my SBC swap. Hopefully fairly close to St. Louis MO. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Are those the narrow axles that would fit nicely in a CJ7?

A friend of mine has an old Scout II pushed off into the woods of his farm. This vehicle is pretty trashed but I was curious if it might have a Dana 44 axle. It's probably a late 70s model.
