Re: 4.0 jeep Cherokee to 70 chevy swap?
This totaly sucks! When did those commie pinko tree-hugging bastards in Sacramento sneak that one through? It used to be 1975. I know it was.

Re: 4.0 jeep Cherokee to 70 chevy swap?
Besides all the legal California schtick, a Jeep drivetrain installed in a 1970 Chevy would absolutely kill the resale value of the truck, if that means anything to ya.

Re: 4.0 jeep Cherokee to 70 chevy swap?
Lol.. I don't think this trucks are worth that much anyway Im not worry about resale value. When I fix something I plan to keepit for a long time. Besides I plan to keep the original eng/tranny in my back yard storage just in case law changes in the future. But for now I don't want talk about legal stuff just like the other guys who install Lt1s , vortecs, or whatever. I just wanna see how to go about this I preffer carbureted for now (easer to do and for me to fix)

Re: 4.0 jeep Cherokee to 70 chevy swap?
then you'll need to find out if you can use that intake.
and you'll need a pre computer dissy.. I'd hit up a jeep forum for that type info.. |

Re: 4.0 jeep Cherokee to 70 chevy swap?
I know people have put a 4.0 head on the carb'd 4.2 and still used the 4.2 intake, so I'd say if you got a 4.2 intake you can make it work on the 4.0. I've own a couple Jeeps, current one has 165,000 miles on it, the highest having 249,000 before the body rusted out. Good reliable motor, but making alot of horsepower can get exspensive.

Re: 4.0 jeep Cherokee to 70 chevy swap?
I can tell you want to do this conversion, so I say go for it! Just make sure you transfer all of the emissions and computer stuff over. You like the way this engine runs and it runs with all of those components anyway.
I think it's cool to put modern technology into older vehicles.

Re: 4.0 jeep Cherokee to 70 chevy swap?
and what trans. is it the Jeep, if it's an auto (AW4), it has its own computer, which you can get by without if you buy a controller which you manually shift. 5 speed(AX15) would be the easier electricly, but then you have to deal with the hydraulic clutch. It would be intersting either way just make sure to keep us updated if you go this way
