been searching the forum.. and no really good answer so figured i would ask here.. will a TJ motor fit in an XJ of the same year? or other 4 liters, mine is a 97.. i'm thinking of it just as a long block swap... any and all input appreciated...

thanks..

as my black beauty is acting up. just gotta find the time to evaluate it. but if i can find a motor for a good deal gonna pick it up.

 

Really excited about seeing it. Even if I don't like it, I have two designs I do like that I'd appreciate input on. I'll wait til I see yours, though, so I don't change my mind AGAIN

 

Had to pull a Yoda out tonight

 

do or do not, there is no try.

 

Any 4.0 will swap, gonna have to use brackets off of XJ motor though....

 

You dream it, I'll build it

 

Is he running stock tires???
Good Job Frosty

 

So when you building mine???? I'm already paid up!

 

No he's got some bfg mt's and he's lifted it's just that mucky back there

 

here's the one you need




found one on ebay cheaper than amazon

Probably gonna start tacking this weekend
Can't go too far till I get some measurements off your rig

 

thanks , was hoping it would. i had guessed, it would just be swap over all XJ brackets and goodies. Not sure what is up with mine. But figured if i can locate a good priced working motor, better to have on hand.

 

Or get a JY block and get to rebuilding

 

Adapt this to an MJ?

 

thought of that also. just know sometimes it is Russian roulette on the JY ones also. When the JY says engine no accessories, that is oilpan, block and head, t-stat cover and valve cover correct??
