wonderin how bad it would be to stick one of my old 4.3's in my 91 cherokee

 

if it was me i would just put a 350 in it considering the 4.3 is pretty much the same thing but with two cylinders cut off

 

There is some work involved. The 4.3 will end up cleaner due to clearance problems with the steering box and front air intake.

 

thats a clean setup you have nice job

 

Thanks. It was a lot of work

 

well i have 3 layin around in the shed and my 4.0 in this jeep i got is smoked is y i was wonderin what trans did u use or did u use a adapter

 

I think I've seen some posts here that said the 4.3 is a bolt-in swap into an 84-86 XJ's that came with a 2.8 V6.
If so, maybe you could find one of those in your area with a bad 2.8 cheap and you'd be in high cotton.
I may be mistaken...but it wouldn't hurt to search around on here to find out.

 

ya that wouldn't be a bad deal to tell the truth i really never wanted a jeep but a bud of mine had this one and it was lifted had molly front shafts and rock sliders already on it and he was in a bind and i got it for 500 so now i got it and its really startin to grow on me just don't no anything about them

 

I used the Chevy 4L60E. I was going to use a beefed up T5 but the smog police made me use the tranny that was behind it in the donor rig.

 

You got your numbers transposed. It is the 3.4L that is a direct bolt in.

 

what yr 4.3 did u use and i don't have the smog police to worry about in this state so i'm ok on all that

 

Mine is a 93. Those vortecs have the highest horsepower rating without having to have a crank position sensor.

 

well do u like it better than ur 4.0
