Lol and what's funny is idk why I haven't asked anyone here before I've needed one for weeks. Closest JY by me hasn't had an xj close to my year last time I checked

 

Possibly bad/dead battery.

Newbie here. Considering buying a very clean 86 Cherokee with a bad 2.8L GM V6 with Automatic trans (cracked block, head(s), gasket... who knows??). My preference would be to drop in a 258 i6 from the same era (had that engine in my 78 J10, long gone) and change over to manual trans.

Possible or not?? I found this statement on a 'engine swap' thread...

"Cant fit a strait 6 in the earlier cherokees due to fire wall clearence problems"

True or False??

Also, any thoughts on converting to diesel? I know they sold the early Comanches with a 4 banger diesel. Anything like that that would drop in (of course with adapters)??

I guess I would consider a 4 banger gas engine. Any body ever drop in an "Iron Duke" engine out of an 80's Chevy S10?? That would be awesome with the S10 5-speed trans. I can make adapter plates if necessary but rather buy 'em off the shelf if they exist.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

 

I know the turbo deisel futs but not sure about the others.

Sent from my iPhone because web wheeling is cheaper...

 

It can fit, see the following thread:

Which engine are you referring to?? Is that the 4 banger??

 

Thanks for that thread. Tells me it is not impossible....

Still interested in the diesel and/or the "Iron Duke"..

 

Ya, for what it is, it makes great power and is dam near bulletproof!

I know this isn't really a sub amp but how would I wire this sub

to this amp

To this headunit

Rca to the amp then bridge the amp and run your wires to your sub

 

Not dead battery I checked it. Might be starter?

 

Personally I'm not sure if a bad starter would dim the lights. I know a bad battery would or a bad alternator not giving the crank amps needed. Have someone hit the starter next time you try to start

 

Does anyone know how many cfm's the mechanical fan vs. the electrical ac fan is??

 

sorry to bug yall with prolly a easy question. how do i keep the fog lights on my pvc bumper from jarrin around everytime i hit a bump? and i gotta a light above the driverside that i cant use cuz it blinds me. i'm planning on running more lights but can't run anymore power to the battery (fog lights, amp, spot light, led lights and flashers). any help would come in handy. again im sorry ta bug yall.
