I have a 79 CJ7 with a 304, T400 and Quadratrac. The motor needs to be gone threw or swapped. I was wondering what I would need to change to put in a chevy350 (trans, tcase)? Are there any adapters to allow me to run a chevy T400 and keep my Tcase?

Thanks,
 
for the engine you would need motor mts and a radiator, those are the major things. check novak for adapting a 400 to a dana 20. If I was doing the swap, I would get a dana 300 t case though.
 
With your set up, you are gonna have to adapt something.
350 adapted to your 400 and quadracrap. Or go all chevy with a direct bolt on tranny and t case. if you do get away from the quadracrap you will also have to change out the rear diff as it is off set to the right a lot more than it'll need to be.
 
You should get an AMC 360 and reuse all of your current drivetrain. That way it will all still bolt up. Adapters get expensive.
