The rear are stock and the front has been trimmed to be flat and the fender is trimmed to be flat. Altered stock.

what do you get for fuel mileage since you put a 350 in it ? im looking at getting a jeep with a 350 but wasnt sure what the fuel mileage would be .

[57geronimo]

@DieselProductionz85 When I first purchased this TJ I drove it from Wichita, Ks to Colorado and back. The trip is right around 1000 miles (won't do that again) and the times I checked it out on the road I got just less then 11 MPG That's running 37" tires, 4.88 gears and a 3 speed turbo 350. Big change if you happen to have a turbo 400 (4 speed) or different gears.

Around town I don't know and don't really want to know. I love the sound it makes so I seam to always have my foot in it.

Have Fun

@DieselProductionz85 If I make any changes to the motor it will be a TBI out of a early 90's. I suggest a 5.3L or 6.0L with EFI, parts are cheap and all over the place.

I will eventually by a 1 ton 4x4 Chevy with a Dana 60 front, 14" rear and a 6.0L motor, but that will be when I cut the fenders and go serious. We can only play around at this time.

hey, how hard was it for you to get the 350 to work in the end? how much $ did it cost? how long did it take?

[57geronimo]

@deanschool Sorry, I purchased it with the swap already completed. I suggest a 5.3 or 6.0 chevy or of corse a 5.7 dodge would be great. Motor swap is above my pay grade so I would have someone else do the work.

Fuel injection, TBI or TPI is the way I would go now.

Good luck.

will my insurance go up putting a 350 in my 1997 jeep wrangler?

[superhawkn]

could you yank 350 and put 4.0l back in I would

[MrTheAcott]

[NiftyTan]
