Things YOU Should Know Before Swapping a SBC V8 Into Your 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ!

thought I'd make this informational video on my 1991 Jeep Wrangler Small Block Chevy swap and tell you guys some things to look out for if you plan on doing this yourself.
I am by no means a professional, I never claim to be and please take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Can’t wait to see the steering interference

no interference, stock steering linkage clears with no issues, used a universal steering shaft to hook up the column to the factory manual steering gear.
