6 to V8 conversion
My son's 90 YJ has the 4.2L six with 5 speed. Is there such a thing as
swapping the 6 out for a V8?...and still meeting emissions laws? Could the trans/clutch stay...or would the V8 require a new trans? Any way to get a Chevy small block in it, with emissions equipment? Rick |
Re: 6 to V8 conversion
Emissions laws depend on the state. most states don't like it unless it's a
newer v8 than the vehicle. The t5 won't last behind a v8. If you go with a amc v8 I would recommend a t176 or a t18. -- _____________________ HomeBrewer 76-81-85CJ7 http://85cj7.blogspot.com/ All in one Jeep "Rick Sink" <ricksink@mindspring.com> wrote in message news:41abefb7.695475468@news.east.earthlink.net... > My son's 90 YJ has the 4.2L six with 5 speed.

Re: 6 to V8 conversion
Didn't I hear that some flavor of a T5 was in the Mustang 5.0s?
What's the diff in that case?

Re: 6 to V8 conversion
Yup, they put the same Borg Warner 'World Class' T5 in the later CJ's.
The YJ has that french tranny I think, for sure not a T5.
