In this video we completely assemble our brand new Chevy 350 that is going to be swapped into our 1981 Jeep CJ7. We attach an AX15 5 speed manual to it as well as our newly rebuilt Dana 300 using an adapter kit from Novak. We also add a new set of headman headers along with a complete accessory kit that came with the new engine.
Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for the rest of the build along with weekly uploads.

    With adding a V8, did you have to upgrade/change the transfer case? Wondering if it’s gonna hold up to the power of the V8?
