Let the birds fly.
Performed the search on the following.
XJ front leaf spring conversion.
sbc v8 conversion.
search help came with some great info, except, anyone who has done this, have you modified the subframe at the critical points? or just bolt up the mounts directly to the subframe?
I know a stroked 4.0l (4.7l) puts out about the same power as a sbc stock 350, so no frame mods there?
Front leaf spring hangers, has anyone just bolted the hangers directly to the subframe? (seems like a weak point) or have you welded/bolted flat or angle steel here?
thanx in advance.
