The Chevy small block is so common because it fits in pretty much everything, can be fixed with a hammer, and can be upgraded with 50 years worth of varied performance parts for basically nothing

The 4.2 or 258 Inline 6 is a legendary engine. They have plenty of torque which is far more useful than HP in a Jeep. The 4.2 can be a real powerhouse in stock form with other than stock carb , intake , exhaust. A cam with a bit more lift and duration on intake as well as exhaust along with a webber carb swap and a header really brings them to life. And they are absolutely durable long life engines. Swapping the later 4.0 HO head , efi and ignition system makes them a bunch more fun too

Badass guys! Question about the drive shaft and transmission. I have the Automatic t999 I believe it is in my 88 YJ. Are you just running 2wd most of the time or have you tried using the 4WD with the more power from the V8? Does it take a toll on the transmission?

I've owned my 02 tj for 15 yrs now. I just put a crate 4.0 stroker in it, hoping to get more noticeable power. Epic fail man. The bottom end torque is there, but nothing else really changed. So,... I'm starting the sbc swap. I found your video, looking for a bit of encouragement . Very nice motor mount set up. I noticed this video is 3 yrs old now. I have to ask ,, Would you recommend this swap to a friend. I prefer not to go LS because of the wiring nightmare.....

My first swap was a Chev 265 V8 (which was the very first small block Chevy) into a 1943 Ford GPW - an MB built by Ford during WW II -over 50 years ago, all by myself in an unheated barn in the winter in eastern Washington State. I kept the original transmission, transfer and front and rear ends, big mistake. I am ready to do it again with my 91 YJ 2.5L, but this time I will use a better transmission.

Big fan of small block Chevy engines. About as budget minded as it gets and parts available just about everywhere. Not a fan of carburetors on 4x4 rigs. They flood out usually at the worst possible moment and don't like the bouncing around, but still cheap and easy way to get it running/driving.
