I am in the process or doing a frame-off of my 1984 CJ7. The Jeep has a Chevy 350 engine and I removed the engine and was planning on rebuilding it. I disassembled the engine and the machine shop said it was bad. Apparently the head gasket leaked and the water that got into the cylinders rusted as it sat for a few years. Anyway, I am weighing different options. I could find another 350 and tear it down and rebuild it, get a running 350 or I am considering doing putting an LS engine in it. If anyone has done a LS install in a CJ7 or if there are any posts where they detail the process I would appreciate any input, or comments. I have attached a picture of the frame with the 350 in it. Thanks.
