Is there any place I can buy a new intake manifold for my XJ? Its an 87 with the 2.5, so it's throttle body injected. Only place I can think of that I haven't tried yet is the Jeep dealer, but I know they will be expensive if they can get it.

 

Junkyard

 

No 4 cylinder Jeeps in my local junkyards, so that's not really an option. All I found was a ton of 4.0's, and a V6 Cherokee.

 

ebay, or look for guys wrecking 4 bangers on craigslist.

 

Everything I've found on ebay was off either a 91+ MPFI 2.5, or an older carbureted 2.5, I haven't found anything listed for my Renix 2.5, and don't know what the differences in the manifolds might be.

And I just talked to two different Jeep dealers, both of them told me there was no way they could get me an intake manifold. Im starting to get frustrated with this problem. The Vortec 4.3 in my 01 Silverado is looking like a very tempting swap, at least I can get parts for that engine.

 

BAM!!!

 

If u could weld aluminum, u can build your own with some aluminum tubing and 1/4 aluminum plate.

 

Thank you! That didn't come up when I searched for some reason, I appreciate the help

 

If I had a TIG, I'd do that, but I'm not trying to weld cast aluminum with my stick welder. I'm about to buy the manifold hankthetank posted.

 

Alright. Of course iti is not a good idea to weld cast aluminum with stick lol.
