Just an FYI.. If this is a daily driver and you have state inspections you may want to verify you'll be able to pass inspection.
My state wouldn't allow a V8 conversion unless it was an option directly from jeep for the model year of the vehicle.

It is 5.2L and you will need the tranny behind it too. You will need to upgrade your radiator and vent the hood heavily.

okay thanks guys. probably a little more work than i am able to do. just 18 years old ha. but i also have another question. once i get over 45 and i come up to a hill or anything and give it a little gas it starts shaking. it seemed like injectors or something but i have already checked those and they are fine. a mechanic told one of my friends that it was my transmission and i was going to have to have it rebuilt or just a new one. any ideas of what this could be?
