Re: What engines fit?
In California, a smog referee has to certify the transplant. The
general rule is that the engine must be the same year or newer than the
vehicle, and have all of the emissions equipment for that newer engine.
There are other rules, which can be found on the DMV website. The
sticker issued by the state tells the guy at the smog check station
that the new engine is certified for the visual inspection and what to
input into the computer so that it knows how much of what should be
sniffed at the tailpipe. (Even so, some smog techs are idiots and it
pays to find an inspection station that is used to seeing modified
jeeps - a local jeep club can ususally steer you in the right
direction.)
Jeeps R Us in Laguna Beach has done many 4.0 into CJ-7 conversions, and
about a dozen V-8s from Grand Cherokees that I know of. After several
frustrating experiences at the smog referee, they have the Mopar V-8
conversion dialed in and know exactly what to do in order to get the
conversion sticker without too much trouble. (However, don't expect to
call them for all the info you need to do it yourself. As nice as they
are, and as helpful as they can be, transplanting engines is their
business and they won't be able to feed their families if they give
away the knowledge they worked so hard to learn.)
