Hey, Im looking for a 2.5L motor for my '90 YJ. Im still new to the Jeep world ( previously a diehard Chevy girl ) and dont know where to find one. I live in Surrey, B.C. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Well, I used to be a "DieHard Chevy Boy" but am now rolling in a Jeep too. There are lots of wreckers around the bottom of Scott Road near the SkyTrain station. Ralphs is usually decent. Other then that, check Buy & Sell, Craigslist, etc...

my advice get a toyota then you get a better truck and motor

WJCraig

If that's true...how come all the good Toyota's are built with Chevy parts?

I was going to give a smart-*** answer like the motor can be found under the hood

hickchick

Well thank you to those (WJCRAIG) who gave a "real" answer. :P And thank you too those that are smart asses. With out you the world would be a boring place.
I still have my chevy but one tons are just not that fuel efficient. :D
Thanxs again!!

drop a chev small block in it it will be better on fuel then that 2.5L i know i got both

hickchick

I could. I found a 2.5 with a head that has a crack in it. So for a couple bucks she can be up and running for the rest of winter. Then I can think of future mods. Right now I just really want to DRIVE it. :)

do it I've swapped axles just to go for a weekend run

yea id hit up the craigslist till you find something... I just found a FREE 89 Cherokee with a 4.0L that ran last time they parked it (tranny only has reverse gears), just gotta get it off the persons yard and its yours, the problem is its a hour away from me, and i dont have a trailer...

but theres usually goodies up there for cheap so keep a look out and be ready to jump on it...

ive got a Ford 460CID in the garage... but its also in North Carolina...

hickchick

Well Im out of town visiting my parents for the weekend. I hope by the end of next weekend I can be up and trailing again. Might splurge and buy a winch too. ;)
