I know they make a direct bolt in radiator but Im not willin to spend $500 to get one.Summit has some generic alum rads and two or three of em look like they will work.Who has used one for a YJ V8 conversion and which did one you use???
 
I've been looking for one for my YJ/4bt swap. I found a bunch of them on Ebay, many of them made in america for $189.00 -$300.00. A lot of them came with electric fans as well. 3 rows, Some good for 800+hp, Some even have a lifetime warranty. I haven't bought one yet but probably will. If ya buy one let me know what kind of quality your lookin at. Good luck!
 
They have em on ebay w the alum shrouds and elec fans for less than $370.That'll be the way I'll go.Thanks for the tip.
 
I just bought one off Ebay. Alumn double pass. Very nice construction, excellent packaging, and quick shipping. Then I bought a 16" elect fan kit. It is working great.

I assume by your sig you used a Howell harness??? Are you runnig a VSS and what brand/kind of motor mounts did you use??
 
well I thought I just posted this?? but here goes again.... I used a complete Howell TBI system as that was what I was running on my AMC 360 before I swapped engines. The 350 has basically the same specs (RV cam, performer intake, HEI distributor, headers) so it works out well. As for the motor mounts, I used Advance Adapters weld in frame mounts and made the motor mounts out of DOM and bushing kits. There are pics in my build thread.
Here is a pic of the mount.

Hey 89Wrangler, what did you order that ya wound up with your inlet and outlet on the same side? I would like a bolt in for a YJ but my 4bt has both inlet and out on the right. Do ya remember who ya bought it from ? Thanks
