Dont see alot of V8 TJ's around, nice choice of displacement. Make sure you highlight the rear driveshaft length. lol

Hope you plan for some stretch Bill.I spoke with a fella in Ontario about swapping in my dakota V8 and auto, he told me that even if the engine is moved forward to the rad, with an electric fan, the rear driveshaft will still be shorter, unless you stretch the rear.

I was talking to a place in the states they make block hugger headers which will allow me to fit everything and run stock shafts

The ZJ trans is shorter than your Dakota one.
