5.2 engine swaps
Will a 2001 5.2 go into a 1995? I guess it will ive done it only its blown oil out the back i believe through the EGR valve. I was under the impression all i had to do was change intake manifolds. The 2001 has no EGR valve. Or port l8oe the 96

Nope, the ECU's/computers in 1996+ models are more complex than the older ones used in 1993-95 models (the older ones are Plug-'n'-Play as long as it's the same engine and the newer ones have to be programmed to your specific Jeep)... you'll have to swap in an engine from a 1995 or older vehicle, although you'll want to stick within the 1993-95 year range, as those 5.2's had more power than the older 5.2's in the Dodge Ram pickups and vans.
