Just wondering if the 208 is good enough, I have one under my truck and I am thinking about doing a divorced 205 setup, maybe even a doubler. But this is under a dodge truck, not a heep.

I don't know if it will bother any "hard core" jeep guys.
I got Ford diffs chevy tranny and trans case and a cummins engine
Not much jeep left on mine either.
I consider it building a Jeep the way AMC did - parts from whoever would sell them to me

hope you can get that 400 to cool.. those motors are notorious for running really hot
