ford 351/c6/205 into a yj

[jakec]

has anyone put a ford 351w/c6/205 combo in a yj? i have all that stuff and i was/am a ford guy (jeep now) but it seems like it might be a little too long. i also have a '76 ford dana 44 front end and a '84 14 bolt rear i would like to put in also. i want to keep the leaf springs too. any suggestions?

I had a buddy put a 400 Ford motor into an 87 yj. Other than new motor and transmission mounts it went in just fine. A little cutting was needed for the Ford shifter to fit though.

Novak-adapt has a write up on the install The site has good information across the board for swaps.

the entire drivetrain is probably shorter than a 4.2/4.0 auto drivetrain.

Toss it in, as for the axles, depends what you have. 76 1/2 ton D44 or 3/4 ton dana 44? also is the 14 bolt full floating 8 lug, semi floating 8 lug or semi floating 6 lug?
