If you had the tools, time and money.

What motor would you try and fit into a XJ/MJ?



Me it would be a V10 out of a SRT10 RAM, with a NV4500 behind it all stuffed into a well built MJ..

A Cummins 4BT Stuff that in a short bed Commanche.

Then get a B6.7 and drop it in a FSJ

I think a 4bt would be my choice as well. Increasing range on my fuel tank being the desired outcome.

Not only do you get a huge boost in fuel milage but you gain an extra 130ft-lbs of torque to play around with. If I ever did that swap the whole unibody would get serious bracing and reinforcement

Is that a 6BT? because I HIGHLY doubt you could get that to fit in an XJ. even the 4BT is pushing it at over 700lbs

Remember this about motors, not would they would do to a XJ.

Anything is possible with enough time and talent.
