the 207 is aluminum and junk... and they should both be the correct spline count actually... u may have got lucky there...

I used a 2004r to make my chevy to bop adapter (it had the dual pattern on it). I'm debating what to do with my 350 olds once I build my 455 for my car, lol, cherokee was one idea.

I figured from what I have read on here that the 207 would be light duty but wasn't sure if there was a gear ratio, spline, bolt pattern difference. He can use it for now and rebuild the 231 or find a better one......I'm REALLY kicking myself for letting the blazer t-case go to the junkyard.......

Shaggimo, thats a damn good idea!!! I have a duel-p t-350 at the shop, not sure why I didn't think of that!!!!

Runs fantastic, will fry all four tires if you want to, basically the V-8 will fit in with a 1/4 to 1/2" of clearance on each side with the block hugger type of headers and Advance adaptors universal motor mount kit. I used the short water pump setup with pullys on the front of engine, power steering pully dia. will have to be reduced to clear steering box, I pulled off the stock one and found a smaller dia. one out of my junk pile and pressed it on. It's much easier to use the set up out of a s-10 blazer auto with 4WD, the 700r4 from a 4.3 liter bolts right up olong with the transmission adapter and the 231 transfer case from a 1988 blazer, I used a large Alum Griffin custom radiator and a advance adapter universal transfer case shifter to finish it off. I have been eye-balling a 6.0 liter gen.3 LS motor to put in it, haven't seen one of those engines in a Cherokee yet, sick, huh. Chevokeeman.

Damn!!! plenty of power then! Serpentine or V-belt? you REALLY wanted that motor in there huh?? Geezz man 6.0 liter!! Which do you think will twist first driveshafts or axles, lol

I got a couple pics last night...88 has the front ripped off, haven't taken apart the 84 but found water/oil mix in #3 cyl maybe a head gasket...cross your fingers!! :-)

I'm running a short waterpump set-up with street rod v-belt set up, shortest set up available for sbc. I had a friend that runs Blumenthals Driveline Shop build up the heavy-duty driveshafts so I don't think that will be a problem. The axles have been upgraded to Chromemoly also so if it tears up,I'll upgrade the axles to something beefier, since those pictures were taken I have changed to a Hi- Pinion Dana 44 front with chromemoly outer stubs and H/D 297 U-joints, like wive's they are never D-O-N-E. Good luck on your changover, Chevokeeman.

depending how bad it wrecked take the axles out of the 4cyl and all body parts needed to fix the six you get factory 410 gear upgrade and fixed 4.0 xj /

antbanks

The front corner is bent down so far that the steering shaft is against the frame

antbanks

sorry, I couldn't find this thread till after I created another but for all the guys that told me this could not be done with out major mods...I haven't had to modify anything yet and all I see is moving the x-member back for the longer motor thus drilling bolt holes ... MAYBE! It looks to me like they are pretty much generic. I have pics

I personally do not own one now but working on this one has sure turned me on to the cherokee or xj (is xj the right term??)

Yes it will clear the front axle, if you put that 4.0 exactly where it would be in an 87 or later year jeep. A Jeep Cherokee it originaly came in.

antbanks

I found that out I have this 84 almost complete, and everything I have transfered from the 88 has bolted right up and even 90% of the 88 wires plugged in to the 84 wires like under the drivers side kick panel...The only thing we have left is to move the crossmember back a little and put the drive shafts and transfer case in...these things are like playing with lego's, pretty fun

antbanks

ok, pics.............................
The 88 is black and 84 is white






those pliers came with th jeep.... :-)




This is where it gets good!!!! this is the 88 motor mount pad bolting right up to the 84 wagoneer


Little bit a cuttin here




all the good stuff


back of the 6 cylinder, plenty of room


6 cyl sittin on the pads




used the 4cyl rubber mount here cuz the 6 was trash

antbanks

What do you think so far?? We cleaned out the engine compartment of all the 84 vac cans and stuff so will take some more pics its much easier to see the motor now

antbanks

Hey found out the 88 axles are posi...has the "use limited slip additive" tag on the rear end. Does any one want these axles or anything else?? I will post in For Sale tread

Shaggimo

Did you get all up and running?
