86 XJ motor replacement
What engine options do I have when it comes to decicing what to put in
my newly aquired 86 XJ. It now has the 2.5 4 cyl. Manual trans. Is it a difficult swap? Also does anyone know what the cost of factory service manuals might cost for this vehicle? Many thanks in advance!! Greg 86 XJ 95 YJ 06 ZJ |
Re: 86 XJ motor replacement
What are the smog requirements where you live? The easiest swap is always a
carbed motor and an auto trans. SBC is the most common, but very tight in an XJ. You might be able to do a 4.2L carbed or something. Whats wrong with the 2.5L?

Re: 86 XJ motor replacement
Just curious if the 2.5L was running or not. Probably a chev v6 with an auto
would be the easiest. The chev 4.3L v6 is a pretty stout motor.
