Default Anyone swapped engines from the I-6

Looking for engine swap options that will offer the same power but better gas mileage. Something that is more of a bolt-in.

Thanks

Good luck... these things do get decent mileage... don't forget you're pushing a brick! The only swap that I believe would have a noticeable effect is diesel.

If you find a bolt-in let me know.

Like said above, the 2.5 turbo diesl from another Cherokee is the best idea
