There was some mention in the JTR book on swapping TPI engines, but not sure if it was specific to that model. You could probably find more info on a Jeep forum, though. The book will still probably be of help to you, though; you can get it through Summit.

On specifics for a particular swap, no...but it goes over a lot of the details not adressed in other books, and presents information not available in any other book that I have seen. Its not a step by step how to by any means, though.

Try Jp magazine, they have articles all the time with this stuff. Funny thing is I was thinking about putting the old 305 into my Jeep XJ when I replace the Trans Am's engine hehe!
