it wont be much work at all really the motor mounts are the same and i already have the sbc swap mounts sitting in the garage, and wiring wise it will be nothing wires to the starter, 1 wire to the alternator, and 1 to the distributor. that about all i will need to run.

a little update since i havent been on in a while. traded the rubicon in at hubbard chevrolet, the salesman drove the rubicon all the way back to my house to get my moms signature since she was on the loan, as soon as he got the signatures took off and broke the rear driveshaft half way up my driveway. it went out in style the new 98 i traded for has a 4 leaker and auto trans and feels like it has alot more power than the rubicon even when it was stock. already swapped my rustys stinger and winch from my 97. probably going to do some 2" spacers or springs for now to keep the rubbing down on the trails. after money situations get better going to swap my tons, coilovers, and some 39.5s with hummer wheels under it.

i got a little bit done to it today had to remount the winch since a few holes didnt want to line up. it is on good now though. on the list as soon as im done moving are a few inches of lift to get the tires out of the fender. im thinking about a 2" budget boost with shocks from rustys and cherokee coils on front to get it up a bit and to even it out from the winch dropping it down in front a few more pics of it from the dealership.
