Mechanical to Injection
Got a 89 Wagoneer with the fuel injected 4.0 and had a rod bearing go down which did some pretty severe damage to the crank. found a mechanical 4.0 in a 78 renegade and was wondering if it was possible to use the intake and accesories of the injected engine and turn the old mechanical into a injected engine? and if anyone has any experience with this any info you could give would be awesome. If its not possible may just do away with the fuel injection and go mechanical. thanks guys

and yes, you should be able to put your 4.0 stuff on that shortblock

Thanks, What about the hole where the manual fuel pump was? will I have to fabricate something to cover it or do they make a plate for that? and what about the Distributor is there going to be any problems there?
Thanks again for the help.

hmmm. actually, ive never done it the way you are. its mainly old CJ guys wanting to run fuel injection.
you may be able to use a modified SBC fuel pump block off.
as for the distributor im not to sure. ill have to check at the shop monday and compare to see if the 4.0 dizzy will work in the 4.2 block.
edit, i may be able to check tommorow morning and get back to you
