I'm about to swap a 350,turbo 400 trans into my xj.the 2 problems i got is the cooling system,and the wiring.i cant find a radiator that will hold up to a v8 that will just bolt into my xj,anyone know of a company that makes one,or any suggestions?the wiring is my main concern because im swapping in a fuel injected 350 out of a 96 surburban,and i want to know if it will be easier to salvage a wiring harness and computer from a donor vehicle or just swap to carbureter,and junk the efi?i want this install to look clean without a bunch of wires cutoff the jeep harness.help please..

im wanting to do an engine swap but just dont know yet if i want a new 4.0 or 350 or what... im just doing my homework and saving up some ca$h

 

Check out Serious Offroad, a member and supporting vendor here.

He swapped in a 5.3l and did a write up on Naxja.

Plenty of good info there.

 

I did the small block swap. Goes good. Check my build thread.

Why is it only the new people bump 3 year old threads?

 

He wants to see if the OP ever saved up the money for the swap.

 

I think he was doing the right thing and searching

 

And he comes bearing info. It's all good.

 

its a win for him!
