First time user needs help
Hi guys great site .

Just bought a 99 wj limited with 4.7 has a bad engine . Found an engine on ebay 4.7 out of a 2003 durango . Stupid me did not make sure it would fit . Now that i am doing my home work it looks like it might not fit . The motor has the trans tranfer case and ecu maybe some wiring not sure if it does . Did i just screw up or can it be made to fit with out a lot of $$$$$$ going out the window .

Thanks Doug

go to http://www.mallcrawlin.com/forum//index.php? and ask there the ppl there do more engine swaps than in here IMO.

Also heads up give more specs on the engine you bought.
