wanted V8

[RalphDogg]

i am looking for a V8 motor for one of my samurais. i am leaning towards a 350 because of the availability of parts. maybe you know of someone that has an old chevy sitting in your buddy's backyard waiting to resurrected from the dead. because of all the odds and ends that come with a engine swap i would really like to find a whole vehicle with these specifications.

running V8
fuel injection preferred
wiring harness preferred
auto tranny without overdrive
transfer case
under $500 would be great.

here is the vehicle that will be crammed with the v8. i bought this about 2 years ago for $75. THE PRIDE OF MY FLEET!

Think you could realy fit a 350? If you can, that'd probably be my choice. Not because it's a better engine, simply because of the amount of parts, writeups, specs, etc. It's just a common thing which could make it easier considering how many TJ's and other's did it.

if you are having troubles with your v6 in your sami, you came to the right place. i can fix it.


i am trying to avoid the 305 chevy motor. because of it's weight and low horsepower. but thanks for the response. i allready cut the firewall out of the samurai, so it is just waiting for a small block. wow! SUMMIT has everything so cheap for a 350.
