JEEP INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The engine mounts are designed for a direct bolt in conversion. The original 4 cylinder or V6 engine mounts must
be removed and the new engine mounts bolted back into position using the original bolts. The stabilizer assembly
on the driver's side will need to be reinstalled to the new engine mounts. The engine location has been determined
by using the original AX5 & 999 Torqueflite transmission positions and the appropriate Advance Adapter adapters.
You will require a slight modification to the crossmember bolts to accommodate the exact engine position. This
usually entails elongating the bolt holes in the existing transmission support. Driveshaft modifications will not be
required when using the original transmissions and the our conversion components. If a TH350, 700R-4 or TH400
transmission is going to be substituted for the original drivetrain, you should plan on driveshaft modifications and
transfer case shifter control bracketry.
The engine mounts will set the GM 4.3 V6 at a height that will allow for minimum hood clearance. Modification
to the adapter ring that supports the air cleaner is needed on engines equipped with throttle body fuel injection. The
mounts will position the engine so that there is minimum suspension clearance between the front suspension arms
and lower engine mounts. The clearance will be approximately 2".
THESE MOUNTS REQUIRE A SUSPENSION
LIFT TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE SUSPENSION TRAVEL.
The power steering pulley has minimum clearance around the steering mechanism of the Cherokee vehicle. The
original 4 cylinder or V6 pulley can be reinstalled onto the 4.3 Chevy power steering pump. If this does not provide
adequate clearance, there are pulleys available with a 4-1/4" diameter that could be used. This pulley is available
from Street & Performance in Mena, AK (501) 394-5711. This special pulley costs approximately $65.00 and can
be purchased directly through this company.
With the new engine position, you will be required to use an electric fan on the front side of the original radiator
position.
The exhaust manifolds can either be the Advance Adapter headers P/N 717056, or GM stock manifold numbers
10054763 & 14007398.

NOTE:
Due to the various stock engines and
transmission combinations, driveline
modifications may be required when
installing the new GM V8.
The GM rubber mount supplied in this kit
may be a tight fit between the tabs on our
mount. If so slightly squeeze the two tabs on
the GM mount closer together for a proper fit
to the Advance Adapters mount. These GM
mounts supplied sometimes vary in widths
from the manufacture.
