I've been struggling with the dilapidated AMC 360 in my 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, so now I'm looking to replace it with a shiny new Chevy 350 crate motor. The Blueprint SBC I'm looking at is rated for about 340hp (a nice increase over the stock ~150) and will mate to the stock 3-speed auto...

I’ve been a long time lurker on these forums. Y’all are lifesavers considering the amount of free and useful advice I’ve snagged from this site. Now it’s my turn to ask a question. I’ll try to keep this as brief and to the point as I can but I apologize for the overflow of information coming. Im...

Long time reader, first time poster. Happy to finally join the forum. I just bought this thing with the thought of just replacing or rebuilding the stock 258 that was seized by the previous owner. I also happen to have a spare small block 350 out of 72 chevy... I can throw that thing in there...

I know I may get a lot of heat from this one, None the less, I have swapped a Ford 302 Drivetrain into my 97 Wrangler. The Ecu is basically a gauge mule at this point. However, the tach and speedo do not work. I found that in order for the ECU to send a tach signal it has to see the crank and...

alright so let me start by saying that the odds of me doing this are insanely low and i only thought of this because i'm in love with smaller engines with turbo kits (and also big NA V8s but that's not important) and i want to drive a faster car as most guys in their early 20s do. so my idea...

I'm swaping a VW TDI engine into my TJ and I'm wondering what others have done in general about possible check engine lights. I'd like to avoid simply taking the bulb out if it makes sense. I'm going to be sending the Jeep ECU a converted crank trigger signal for the tach. At the very least...

I currently have a 4.0 engine that just crapped out on me. Rod knock and is looking like an engine rebuild. I don't want to sell the car because I finally finished the interior before competition safety requirements. I'm trying to do rallies, unconventional already I know. Due to class rules...

Hi Folks, been searching for a while and digging through the FSM's and keep getting conflicting information. Back story: Currently have a 2.5L 5spd in my 1997 TJ... I was able to get a 4.0L engine/trans/t-case, wiring harness (body & engine), charcoal cannister, cpu from a 2003 donor. My...

Situation: 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ is receiving AX15 Transmission. I purchased a used 4.0L Inline 6 engine (block #53010341) that came out of a 1998 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) which came with the wiring harness and computer and I am hoping to install said XJ engine and parts into the YJ. Mission...

Hello all, I need help I have a Jeep Liberty 2002, the engine was bad so I bought a 2004 engine, I swap the reluctor ring and the timing chain set (I keep using the 2002), I swap all sensor using 2002. And the engine works well in the beginning, but when I took a highway to test the Jeep...

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and I have a couple of questions and I thought this would be the best place to go to. I have a 1981 CJ-7 which currently has AMC 304 carburated motor. I have constant issues with the motor and I find it very unreliable. I understand they must be driven...

I have a 1982 CJ7 with 258 engine, TF999 tranny, Dana 300 transfer case, 4" lift and 33s under it. I am looking at doing an engine swap since my motor is bad. I would like to do a stroker engine eventually but that isn't an option right now. I do have a donor engine I pulled out of a 1996...

The first car I ever has was a '86 CJ7 - that was in 1988. It was stolen from me a few months after. I always thought I'd get another one day. It took longer than expected but I ended buying an '86 CJ7 last year. Very good shape. All steel. I did not know much about CJ's but with this forum I am...

I purchased a 1989 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) with a manual transmission that apparently had an engine swap. The current engine is a 1992 4.0 inline 6. We have had trouble with the PCM as in every time we go to get it going it seems to fry. We are getting a new wiring harness (should I even bother...

2003, Sport, 4.0, 145k, Caught a rod knock about two weeks ago; parked her immediately. Researched and called around for a few opinions. It was on the lower end, passenger side, no change in power or oil pressure; attempted a repair to drop the oil pan and look inside and got in over my head...

I am looking at buying a 99 cherokee today from a guy for $500 with a knock in the engine. Don't know anymore then that right now. so with the idea of swapping the engine out what years of 4.0 can I use to just change it out? Then what are your ideas about just changing out the offending...

A week ago I bought a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited that had a bad motor. I had originally planned to rebuild the engine, but today I found a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport with a 4.0 and 133k miles for $500, so I bought it to serve as a donor. However, before I start pulling parts I wanted to know what...
