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!
