Default Need advice on swapping 98 to 89

My brother has a 98 limited that is an electrical nightmare. The check engine light has been on for evap leaks and misfires on and off for a year. My dad just bought an 89 that got flooded a year ago and hasn't been started since. I was thinking of swapping the drivetrain of the 98 to the 89. I need advice on what would be the best course of action.

i would scrap them both and buy another. sounds like you would be combinding the two jeeps problems into one big what the poo-fest!


when you say the 89 was flooded, do you mean it was in a flood or the engine flooded with fuel?
