YJ engine Transplant
 

I have a 88 YJ its in good condition but the 258 doesnt have the power
it should, the automatic transmision is about done with, and the
carter carb is ----. I've been reading into a 350 drop but from the
sounds of it, its expensive and takes some time. I'm just praying that
if I skank a fuel injected 4.0 engine and transmision from a cherokee
it would just bolt right in. Up here in vermont they're not alot of
wranglers in salvage yards and its alot easier and probaly cheaper to
find a cherokee.

of breathing diesel fumes from a Mercedes, then told us to stay indoors.

While you're at it, the late models Grand Waggys have d44s with 6-bolt hubs
front and rear (you will want to re-gear them, though, their gearing is
rather high).

Maybe he meant: Stay indoors, in the garage, with the diesel Mercedes

Re: YJ engine Transplant
 

Adam I just installed a 98 ZJ 4.0 in my 89 YJ. You are on the right
track with an XJ engine and tranny. Remember the AW4 is computer controlled
so get all the wiring for the engine and the tranny.
I did not change the tranny but the 4.0 swap is not that hard. If you
need info I have a lot of links for this swap.
Jim F. BTW I love the new engine!
