Has anyone aquired experience in swapping in the grand cherokee 4.7 v8 and 5-speed automatic??? I saw that Currie did a one off, but nothing since. I think the swap would finish off my rig in a 'sweet' way.

Thanks!

I swaped in a TBI350 and T18, so a bit of a different animal. I dont see why your situ would'nt work. I'd check and see if you can mate that Atlas to the Chrysler tranny first though. Keep an eye on length issues too.

Why not go with the bigger V8?

I wouldn't recommend Custom Jeep to anyone. I'm still working the bugs out of the "custom" work that was performed on mine!
