ive always wanted to put a 5.9 ram motor in a grand cherokee they had them in 98, should be pretty easy too cuz the 5.2's i think are identical

The 5.9 in the 98 ZJ has slightly more power then the other 5.9s (durango/ram/dakota) and they also require Premium Unleaded fuel.

Carb? why carb? Carbs suck *** for offroad use..

crappy thing about carb motors is stalling on a hill or something and flooding itself.. then with that comes other issues too.. keep it fuel injected.. you will wish you did.. just saying
