Jeep Chevy Combo
 

Hey Guys I know I'm new here and about to commit blasphemy to all Mopar lovers like myself; but I am in process of getting all the parts together to convert my 95 Cherokee 2.5L into a 95 Cherokee V8 283. I'll grab pictures and try to write up a post as I go through the process.
Other than "DON'T DO IT" does anyone have any suggestions? Its happening the wife already said OK!! ;)

Why I'm changing engines.

I have a suggestion. DEFINITELY DO IT and take lots of pics. I would love to put a SBC in my XJ but, I can't finance a project like that. I will enjoy reading your write up, though. :thumbsup:

dio it

my son says we should put his 383 stroker in my Cherokee

That is a beautiful motor, Bro!!!!!:thumbsup:Throw it in the XJ!!!

I say DO IT to the OP, but as for this 383 suggestion, I say PLEASE GOD YOU BETTER FRIGGEN DO IT!!!! :D

383 is way to big for a usable jeep unless it in the sand

Hey Mike, you may want to invest in 4 point harnesses and Anti G suits for your XJ if you throw that 383 chevy stroker in there. It will be a rocket ship!!!:head::head::head::head::head:

I say do it then you can tell me how to do it..or better yet I'll bring the jeep to you ..:) I;d love a nice V8 in the jeep...

If the factory would have offered a V-8 in an XJ, they never would have sold any Grands. I've often thought of getting a Grand with a 5.9. I'm sure they get crappy mpg but, I'd still like to have one. Does anybody know what the first year of the Grand Cherokee 5.9 was?

I could not afford the gas that motor is more of a drag engine

but I would do a LS1 if I had the money
doing the work is easy paying for parts is hard

Yeah I wish I knew how I would have a V8 in my jeep..just don't have enough knowledge to do it and do it right.

Man even that 283 would kick some serious *** on the street your jeep would eat every peice of rice that tried to get in its way I say do it and take a bunch of pics

it brings a tear to my eye
