will the trans in a 1990 jeep cheeroke pioneer bolt up to to a 302 v8 i no its a ford moter but alot of mopar and ford parts were the same bolt pattern back in the day just wondering if 1990 was to new for that luxery.
if not thats kool ill just hold out and find a 318

Wow. On so many levels.

P.S. Your transmission is out of a Toyota. Seriously.

P.P.S. Why would you want a 318? Less power? Heavier? Carb'd? Why?

Doubtful and the trannys in XJs won't hold up to much V8 power. People run SBCs with the AW4 but if the motor is built then it won't last long.
The 318 that came in Grands used a different trans so if you find them mated together you could do a swap but it'd be a ton of work.

i no it was a wild idea just wonderin sometimes its better to see an idea on paper to relize wat u were thinkin

It will not. A freind of mine has an 87 Limited and he put a EFI 5.0 in it and had to run a C6 4wd tranny out of an F-150 in it. I believe hes still got the original transfer case hooked up though. He said it was pretty easy putting the 302 in it.
