sbc = small block chevy i.e. 350, 305 or such most common being the 350 305 engines are really good boat anchors but from my expierence thats about it.

 

Renix is the Jeeps built from 87-90 they are pre OBD and have sensors that can be checked with a multimeter. Their computer does not store data.
SBC = Small Block Chevy
Turbo 400 = Automatic transmission used in heavy duty applications which preceeded the 4L60 (computer controlled) transmissions in that same application.
Dana 300 t/c = Dana 300 is the last gear driven itteration of a transfer case that was used in production that is still available and highly rebuildable.
Hope this clarifys the abbreviations for you Wayne. If not then PM me for further explanation.

no i think thats good enough. i got a call today about my volkwagon i have for sale and this guy wants to trade a 1992 4.0L cherokee sport. so i was considering just using that instead. what do you think?

 

Not my favorite year but at least it is a Cherokee. I like the 87-90s but I do my own work. '91-'92 were a seperate group with the advent of OBD and after that they changed again. So alot of things are specific to those two years alone. After '92 they were pretty much the same drivetrain wise until they dumped the distributor in 2001. There is a body change at '96 but the drivetrain remained pretty static until that last years distributor was omitted.

 

didnt know that thanks for the info though. i might end up either taking the 2.5L and swapping it out for a 4.0 and i might let my dad have the 92 but i dont know.

 

I would rather have the '92 with a 4.oL than the 4 banger with 2.5L, but that is just me.

 

thats what i was thinking too. having a little more power is always good.

 

Just be aware that some parts for a 91-92 are going to be different than those for a 96 and may be a little harder to find since it is such a narrow window. Most parts places stock what they can sell and it does not pay to take up space stocking something they may sell one or two of a year. So if you can handle waiting for parts to be shipped to you or the parts house then ****** up that '92.

 

well i probably will since i am now addicted to Jeeps

 

simple intake, or exhaust, if you want to get more active you can do it yourself the intake part... see around and see what you like and if its on your budget and skill level try it.. be creative,,

That is much easier said than done. You will need new front cowling, fabricate on the cross member and new hood to start with

 

If you have the 2.8L V6, the easiest and cheapest motor swap is the 3.4L Camaro motor. It is a bolt in and performs much better.

 

well since hopefully ill be getting a 4.0 here soon i think ill let my dad worry about the 2.5 for now. looking forward to that 4.0 power.

 

he asked what else so i told him my honest opinion.
