Lexus V8 into.....

[MudSurfer]

After a lot of looking for a potential donor, I thought I would go for the Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 with the transmission and transfer etc.

If I need to extend the props, I can do that relatively easily, so now to find something it will fit under. At least this way I know the diffs etc. are built for the engine and transfer/transmission so less likely to melt under load.

Wouldn't a small block Chevy be an easier swap into a Jeep?

I don't want the Jeep, just the engine and chassis, then stick the body of ..... something, on top.

Seen the Lexus engine and gearbox in a Triumph Stag. Looks and goes well.
