Any advice would be great.
I am going to swap in a chev 350 in to my 88yj. i am also going to go SOA with a ford 9 inch and maybe stay with th D30 in the front. is there anything that i should be aware of before i start with this project? i know that there will be welding involved, just wondering if there will be any setbacks that could occur during this swap.
thanks a lot

Money, and Time

seriously.

Its going to cost more money, and take more time than you are planning.

yeah time and money. if your doing a carbed motor then its a pretty straight foward swap. if your going to run fuel injection then its a little more complicated but worth the effort and the cash in the end.
