He has the 2.5L so I doubt he has an ax15.
I would personally go with an LSx motor, but a mild built 350 is good.

 

i would get a turbo 350 tranny and the t case to go with it out of a old chevy

 

i have 350 motors laying around in old chevys all over the farm where i work in the summer so there readily available for me... and another thing will my stock axles handle that much more horsepower? i have the chrysler 8.25 rear and d30 front

 

I have a jp mag. that has pics of a 454 put in a XJ!!!

 

they should be able to

 

omgoodnesss!!!! thats insane i was actually thinking of taking the 460 out of my car and putting it in my jeep but i was like... theres no way i can squeeze that in there

 

i wouldnt trust the axles to handle all that cause lets face it you are gonna gas on that thing as soon as you can, try to get some dana 44s

 

i was planning on 44s eventually. just need power first. i have problems pushing the 31s thats on it now and i wanna upgrade to 33s. i dont wanna regear because my fourbanger hs 200,000 on it and ive been planning on swapping since i got my jeep

 

the 80s model stock 350 doesnt put out to much more horse power than a stock 4.0 i think the axles would handle it till you put big tires on it

 

thats the trucks i have to .. i have a few late 70s models and i think 2 80s models

 

yeah i wouldnt worry about axles till you lift it and put big tires on it. when i do mine im going to get the front and rears ends of a old chevy and put them under the jeep so the tires poke out. but im not sure if ill be able to use them or not yet

 

good idea

 

chevy axles wont work unless you swap your t-case to a pass. side front output.

gonna be ford or jeep

 

does a bronco have 44s?

 

Keep It Jeep.

find an old wagoneer. Take the 360 and the TF727, mate it up to a Dana 300 Tcase. Now you'll need a pass drop front end.
Easy they came with matching Dana 44s, pass drop front end.

You could even put the 360 in front of an AW4 with an NP231 and keep the stock axle combo. If your Jeep is starting life as a 4 popper, I bet you have 410s in your axles.

Now don't quote me here but I do believe that the AMC 360 and the 4.0 share the same motor mount position. I'm pretty sure though.
