Well good luck. That is going to be a lot of work to make it all fit.

thanks guys, allways wanted a long term project, keep me out of the doghouse with the wife, I think my list just got longer than her's- haha.

Since I dont need the XJ axles after this year, I thought I'd weld a few things up, cut a few holes in the hood for coolin and wheel it like I stole it- for the rest of the year. Pics and Vids commming soon

Your rig just keeps getting better. You have some talent that is for sure.

well - last night I found out XJs dont fly to well, came down alittle to hard, and now the LCA mounts on the axle are both crushed, cant beleave they made them out of 1/8 plate, well off to the garage to fix it right.

well you an I think to much alike I had a choped xj like yours before and am building another. and the old J10 I have is gitting a 360amc and the body of a 4dr xj and the box off a comanche...
you can fit the 454 no problem.. I did that a few years back... but I put it in the xj. I reinforced the subframe and mounted it in their. Its tight. her is a pic of the old 88 with a 305 in it.

have fun and keep us posted...

Your build is BAD A$$! I love that rig.

**2000XJ** · 09-02-2009, 09:17 PM

It's coming along nicely, I can't wait to see it after the next big stage!

XJcoupe · 09-02-2009, 10:58 PM

thanks guys ! its going to be a long winter in the garage on this next progect, maybe I need to cleanup the shop 1st- haha

FYI.
That's a 14 bolt rear end ( About as good or better than Dana 60/70)
and the front is a standard Chevy 10 bolt (Dana 44/60)

Both are very Beefy and very strong axles IMHO.

Rig Looks great. I am glad to see you are not letting outside influence change what you want to have done on your rig. Keep up the great work.
