umm errr..... Why?
By that why woud you want to?
The Fuel injection is about as efficent as you can get and if it's more power you want you can get bigger injectors. do a search here on ford injectors. some have come off a mustang or something and work well.

Honestly, I have no idea whether you are trying to be serious, or a just a troll...


First, let me preface my answer with a truism about Jeeps. Any thing is possible with enough time, money and stupidity....

I would love to see how you put a body lift on a unibody Cherokee. The formed sheet-metal uni-frame is part of the body.. it can't be seperated without some extremely serious work being done.

I will also ask, Why put a carb on?? Far more ineffiecent, the intake and heads are designed to use multi-port fuel injection, so they are not designed to for the way a carb operates. If you live in an emissions testing area, yo are guaranteed to fail. You simply can't run a carb lean enough to match the fuel injection. Lower power levels in a stock type application.

There are far too many drawbacks/problems to overcome, than there are upsides to the project.

On a serious note, buy a Haynes or a Chilton manual, and try to diagnose your problem. Putting a carb on is a bad idea.

I can understand why he's asking about this. I mean look at the front page, 80 percent of all the issues people are having with their Jeeps are electrical, ignition. If it was easy and would pass emissions, it'd be cool!

Does this stem from the NO START situation you had back in May, after the wheelin trip?
