Nice threads, I have always wanted to rebuild a Jeep from the ground up. You know, resurrect it. I have actually see a beat up down trodden Jeep not far from my neighborhood. It looks late 80's/ early 90's has like wood paneling on the side of it? Not sure what it is, but it is just sitting in their backyard with flat tires and a tarp over. I have always thought of asking the owners about it. See what they would want for me to take it off their hands. It would take awhile to do it, but it would be worth it to see that Jeep like it was in its glory days.

you quite literally need to swap EVERYTHING over - engine, cooling system, dashboard, wiring harness, gauges, ECU, etc etc to get the full H.O. power. The renix system is completely different than the H.O. setup.

you could also use the HO block and head, swap over all the renix sensors, the renix flexplate, and use the renix intake and exhaust manifolds, and gain a little bit of power, but not as much.

You could also try and use the HO intake and TB with the renix sensors, but you'll have a lot of trouble fitting the TPS.

thanks....i was sure alot had to be changed, but essentially everything does.....decisions decisions.... if i can get both for a cheap price...would it be worth getting a few buddies,a few cases of beer and a few weekends wrenching?
