my 89 YJ has a 258 with the tf999 3 speed automatic. I will be installing a chevy 350 with a th350. How does the length of the th350 and the tf999 compare? Since the V8 is shorter than the inline 6 I should be able to just move the engine and tranny forward to compensate for the tranny and adapter to leave the t-case in the same spot right? this way I dont have to mess with drive shaft lengths. I plan on an electric fan anyway so thats not a problem. Would it be possible to make my column shifter still work or will there be a need of an aftermarket auto shifter?
Anyone done this swap? How did it go? I have already adapted a 4.56 D44 and a 9" (both spooled) from an early Bronco as drive train. I am spring over with 2.5" springs and running 37" tires.
