Hey guys
I was wondering if anybody has converted a 97 4.0 with the distributed to a 2000 4.0 coil pack ignition system ?

 

Why? You would need a pcm as well to run the coil drivers, new cam sensor etc.

 

Coil packs have a stronger spark and are higher in the motor . They are have less moving parts too .

 

they also dont last as long, and are a pian in the *** to work with when it comes to replacing plugs!

 

Yes you can do it, but the pre 2000 don't have the threaded holes for the coil packs, and you will need the 2000 sensors/pcm/and harness.

Do an hei conversion

 

Yeah I'm thinking of and HEI too and I might go that route. My 97 is hard to start and I'm going to go through the motor soon. So I was thinking of updating to a newer ignition system.
Thanks guys

 

need an coilpack uprade for my 01 xj, thinking of using chevy ls6 6.0 year 06-08 coils with msd complete ignition/coil/rev limiter complete kit. i was jus wondering if i need to replace my computer with a new aftermarket or jus upgrade mine with a programmer/chip? i know i can use chevy parts on my 4.0, pirate4x4.com has a forum with the "project bonneville comanche" extrudabody.com has the price for the custom "jeep Inline 6 45mm ITB Kit Complete" for $2,000 which is used in the project comanche.

off topic i have heard of the 4.0 all aluminum stroker motor from mopar has anyone heard or have any info on this!

 

I'm lovin that engine! Hows it run?

 

its smooth with so much ***** ! its like putting a 572 bb in a 87 suburban but better my buddy sold his jeep for $12,000 i wanna do the same thing he did but my jeep is a 01 so i have that coil pack ! but like they say jeep xj's aren't bought they are made!

 

 

You can use the distributor cam sensor

 

xj

 

year 2000 pcm with or without sentry key inmo, in case it use the inmo then the key. the cam sensor you can still use the same distributor 1997 sensor
