    318/360 magnum they are like 300 bucks now, basically indestructible

      @ramairgto72 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had the 360 in my 1998 ZJ (lx) , they eat water pumps for some reason.
      In any case, they are cheap because aftermarket parts and cost are much higher vs any 305 or LS swap.

      We have a shop here in Michigan at does work on all Jeeps well as straight from the factory floor 318 conversions on the 2019 Jeep's that are quite a site to behold. They also do plenty of R&D work directly with FCA's Jeep engineers and had a "pilot" Jeep in their shop about a year back doing their 1st 318 conversion not only for future product, but also for one of the Jeep execs. Wasn't a fan of the new Jeep until one of their techs spent an hour of his free time going through the whole thing with me. After that have to confess that it's quite nicely engineered and set up quite nicely to support all the aftermarket sellers.

      An inline straight engine will out live a V type engine 6 to 1.

  • @arthurc1971
    @arthurc1971 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A 304, 360, 401 will bolt directly to the ax15, you just need the correct pilot bushing, motor mounts and radiator big enough to cool it.

    If you CAN keep the 4.2 ( I assume you're swapping out a motor with a working bottom end and doenst have a hole in the block), and want a little more power. You can keep it simple with taking your head to a machine shop and getting a good 5 angle valve job, new springs, a new cam, and a well sorted exhaust, should liven the 4.2 up pretty nicely. If you splurge a little and get a trick EFI system you can run different tunes to liven it up pretty nicely over the stock Carb as well..... A V8 swap though cool is alotta headache and in my own opinion is more for show than actual work. Plus you aren't gonna have to hassle with getting a bellhousing adapter and cutting up your front suspension...... and with the money you can save over doing a motor swap you can reinvest that into your suspension (stronger axles, 44's front and rear, lockers, even bigger tires if you need them)..... Just my two sense from a guy who likes motors on TH-cam

  • @bradywilliams2666

    Seriously. I'm a chevy guy, but if the 4.2 runs good. Just keep it add FI and wheel.

  • @MrRmga420
    @MrRmga420 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Keep the six cylinder with carburetor but covert it to propane. Then you can run it at just about any angle you want. Proper axle gearing is probably more important than the power plant. I’m still running the 2.5 with stock 4.10 gears and 35s. Soon I’ll be regearing to 4.56. (Dana 44 front and Ford 8.8 rear)

  • @jeepcollector91

    I love Jeep YJ's.
    Mine is nearly finished... (finally)
    1991 YJ 4.0L AX15. It had the high pinion Dana-30 in the front, but I swapped in a Dana-30 without the CAD from a '98 XJ. I also swapped an XJ Dana-44 in the rear. In the past I had considered swapping in the crappy 305 (w/Quadrajet carb) from my crappier '87 Camaro, then changed my mind and planned to swap the 3.9L 4BD1T diesel from my old Isuzu NPR. Even considered swapping in the little 1.9L ALH diesel I have sitting in the shed. But I just like the 4.0L too much so it is staying.

  • @12Bravojeepstuff
    @12Bravojeepstuff ปีที่แล้ว

    I installed a 305 out of a 77 Nova in my 89 YJ over 20 years ago and it's been a daily driver ever since. I had the first the advanced adapters kit in the torque flight 999. However, the crank twisted the center out of the flywheel one day so I installed a turbo 350 trans. Other than the fuel economy everything's been fine.

  • @scottgarboden4529
    @scottgarboden4529 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You said that he would need to cut out all of the factory mounts to make it leaf spring. All YJ wranglers were leaf spring front and rear. Wranglers didn't get coil spring suspension until the TJ came out. To all of the people that are complaining about him wanting to use a 305, there is nothing wrong with them. There is a good reason that GM kept producing the 305 instead of the 327, 307, and so on. 350s are no real power houses until you dump alot of money into them.

    • @AgamemnonTWC
      @AgamemnonTWC 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Scott Garboden They were talking about swapping in an XJ front end, which is coil sprung. They were wrong to begin with though, as the YJ should have a high pinion axle like the XJ.

  • @aaronmcdaniel5893

    A Chrysler 8.25 would work good and if you pull the right one you can stay 5 lug and rear disks

  • @fataxe1
    @fataxe1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Watch the engine masters for the 305 they did. Actually made great power and was torquey af. Exactly what you'd want in an off road rig

    • @phantomwalker8251
      @phantomwalker8251 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      no no no,you need low down torque,ie,6 cyl,go see a mechanic with brains,not speed,up his nose.ever heard of unimog,

    • @fataxe1
      @fataxe1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      harry walker an all stroke and no bore motor makes low down torque. And a similar displacement v8 compared to a v6 will make more torque and power every day.

  • @rifleslol
    @rifleslol 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did a 302 and a T18 into my cousin's for him. Just took a motor mount kit welded in, and a t18 adapted to his 231 via a Novak kit and replacement output shaft. Custom driveshafts from a little shop. Worst part was getting a hydraulic slave cylinder setup. Basically chopped the factory master cylinder out and put in a Ford one on the firewall. Weird P/N for the bellhousing we had (which came off a 78 F250 camper special with a manual clutch) to make it work but it's fine now. Still has the 35/30 combo open/open waiting to grenade, but he doesn't offroad, it's just an around-town ride for him.
    Bottom line, if you're at all mechanically competent, figure out what you have first and then what you need to do to adapt it. We had the T18 first, and then pieced together three junkyard 302s. Has the heads, intake, and exhaust from a mustang, the block and rotating assembly from a crown vic (reringed, all new bearings, dingleball honed), and the accessories from an f150. Basically grabbed three motors on the cheap from my buddies at the local junkyard, and picked what was best out of all of them to make one.

  • @Amund7
    @Amund7 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Why not swap in a 4.0 HO from a 91+ XJ? Bolts right up, motor mounts fit, everything fits (even the exhaust!) and you get 197 HP. Of course you'll have a lot of wiring harness work instead though, but most of it should be transferable from the XJ.

      Not building a rock crawler, tho I think that case would take it.

  • @mittenstategarage9093
    @mittenstategarage9093 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dave was also talking about going to a carb or aftermarket FI, the 90 YJ was still carb from the factory so what's the difference. 91 was 1st year for FI on the 4.2.

      Harry Balzack if he already has it, it would be cheaper than an LS for sure.

      But a 350 is so much better

  • @AgamemnonTWC
    @AgamemnonTWC 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    AX15 would be okay, none of the other YJ transmissions would be remotely strong enough. For the price of the adapter to run the AX15 though, he could get a T18 or SM465 and have a much beefier transmission at the cost of losing overdrive. Once you've got big tires though, 4th gear starts to feel a lot like 5th does stock, and with the granny gear you could avoid regearing. That's my plan with my V8 swap, already have my drivetrain.
    I do have to wonder what the point of swapping in a 305 is, given it makes about the same power as a 4.2. I think it'd be a waste unless you just wanted the V8 sound. You guys touched on that too though. Of course I can't say too much, I plan on swapping an AMC 360 into mine.
    Additionally, as far as axles, he has a high pinion D30 and a D35. They didn't use a low pinion in a YJ. He can do the Ford 8.8, it's literally almost bolt in, and keep the HP D30 and he'll be good for 35s and potentially 37s. The 8.8 can even usually be found in matching ratio and with a limited slip. The 8.8 is far and away the best swap into anything 5 lug and small truck width, and can easily handle the power of a 305 and more.

      @ramairgto72 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Steve, you can run the 350, but would look for an LS engine over the Gen II SBC.
      If you just plan to tow, I would find a Cummins 4BT or 6BT. Even a Detroit Diesel 6.2 or 6.5, they are stupid cheap.
      The 454 is a bad idea.

    • @jaygraham4095
      @jaygraham4095 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The old school 350 can make decent power. But the diesel swap would be best for towing and truck pulls. 454 terrible idea. Newer LS is better than a big block.

    • @dude2001steve

    305 Chevy swap is about the best. Even though the 4.0 has the same horsepower and way lighter. A 4bt Cummins is super heavy and maybe 360s are common where you are but not where I am. There is a SBC swap for literally everything. And 305 won’t tear the jeep apart due to their awful frames

      @shadesofbluee 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Say that to someone with a built 334. Then imagine off-roading a Jeep with a built 334 under the hood. Easy 400 foot pounds, solid lowend torque and better fuel economy than a 350 would make it an ideal candidate for a little Jeep.

    • @wesrr4036
      @wesrr4036 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Now is a built 334 the same as a stock 305??? Really?

    • @shadesofbluee
      @shadesofbluee 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Stock 305 still uses a 350 crank, it was designed with torque & fuel economy in mind. It just needs an upgraded cam and heads to do away with the power real limiters. But if you're willing to go that far, on an old engine, you may as well give it a real refresher. Thinking that even a 'stock 305' would not be good for off-roading a light duty vehicle is just ignorance.

    If he wants 200hp just put a 4.3 in it. If he wants more get a 350.

      Allen McKinney or he could just put a 4.0l in it, those are close right off the shelf, and everything should be easier to swap.

    The transmission final drive ratio and the differential ratio determine how fast a vehicle will go. Not the size of the engine.
    I see morons on jeep websites who want to put disc brakes on an old Willys 2A or 3A!?! Why? Your top speed is 40 mph. Why do you need disc brakes?

    Drop a 4.0 HO head and EFI on the 4.2. That thing will smoke a 305 with less work.

      Absolutely. The 305s are not a engine I would swap into anything

    I appreciate that you guys would spend the time to answer viewer questions, but seriously ... choose questions from somebody who has an IQ over 90 at least. The work and expense for the motor .. a 305 ... is just a dumb idea.

      David Knauss That could be pretty awesome, especially with the motors and batteries that are now becoming available. There is a Korean company that converted a TJ or JK to electric sounded and acted a lot like a R/C Scaler!

  • @shadvan9494
    @shadvan9494 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    lose the 305. if your going old school SBC, build a 383 instead with AFR 165 CC heads a small off road design hydraulic roller cam like a comp X4-258HR or X4-260-HR. 9:0 compression and fast EFI TBI injection, 1 5/8 small tube headers should make about 450 lbs of torque and around 400HP. it would be a stump pulling beast. - the AX-15 is a strong trans. it should hold up behing this motor, just make sure its rebuilt. NP321 transfer case, but I would defiantly swap out the front and rear axles. either a New mopar D44 or ford 8.8 in the back and a new mopar D44 upfront.
