Lots of difference in dropping say a big block GM in a Malibu and a Hemi in a KJ
Anyone doing it would have to build a new sub frame it and cut everything out of the front and start over
Easy to say I can do it, well I guess you could say that with 55 gallon drums of a certain slippery lube...........

I am just going to sit here and and watch this post closely. Because i have seen quite alot of odd engine swaps i have seen 350 sbc in volkswagon bugs and Turbo 911 motor in a PT crusier and LS motor in a Rx7 (i know not so rare but awsome car). And countless odd motors in Sami's but a 4.7L in a KJ just can't see it. I mean yes with a lot of modifications to the sub frame or maybe just put the libby's body on a new tube frame. Hummm then you could have it almost anyway you wanted it transmission transfer case what ever even axles. There is and idea to if you just can't see getting rid of the KJ.

Personally I would love to see a 4.7 in a KJ or any beefier motor in it. Perhaps the best option is to make a whole new sub frame. I look forward in watching this thread grow. If you can do it go for it.

What if you made it a dry sump... That would give you more space. Also helps on the cooling problem, run the oil through an aditional cooler.

Just my thoughts.

In my wilder days I build a couple BMW's series 3 with series 7 engines.
