Re: 88 Engine in a 90 YJ
I am kinda tossing that about Billy Ray. I have the old 88 Cherokee we
are driving and a 4.2 with a new crank sitting in my garage so when this
motor wears out.....
Google has a ton of pages on doing it.
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...e+Search&meta=
My CJ7 goes nice right now as you know, add the stroker, headers, bigger
carb or keep the FI and upgrade the injectors, etc. and it would fly.
That old 88 engine still passes emissions easy as is and even dropping
that in like the OP was asking wouldn't be hard.
