good luck with that one you will probably have to fab up everything you need, thats even if you can get it to fit a 8.1 liter is a big block design and way larger than regular ls engines. I have heard of big blocks going into jeeps not all sure how common it is but if I am not mistaken since its designed off a big block it should mount in the same as any old school big block so I would start my searches there. of coarse you will need the computer and harness with it however

I have the engine in the jeep and I'm fabbing up the motor mounts. Could anyone point me in the right direction in the forum on some conversion info.

i cant help out with a jeep but i do know a guy who put one in a 69 corvette. his thread is over at digital corvettes if you search for 8.1 litter in a c3 why wont it work.

dont know how much that will help you though. I do know you can turn the intake around if it wont work facing forward in the stock position

There is a Conversion and Hybrid section on this forum. You might be able to get some help there. Good luck with the build.

If you're heart is really set on a big block, you might want to stick with the older 454. To get to the same power levels, I understand you'll spend much less money and have more options available.
