I will be the strange person. I'm looking to do a 4 cylinder Cummins diesel when the new generation being co developed with Nissan is released in the next couple years.

 

Buick 3800

 

I will also be looking for this. They have a UK Version 2001 XJ with 73000 miles on it with a Limited trim package and a 2.5 TDI 5 speed on Ebay for the UK right now. It was up to $7200 last I checked it last night

There is kits now to do a mercedes diesel swap.

 

707 hp Hellcat

 

Go with the hemi

 

AMC/Chrysler 360 V8 or a REAL Hemi, not the "new" Pentroof motors that are passed off as Hemi's. Not saying they're bad engines, just they're not Hemis but rather designed to look like them.

 

Are there people who think it was?

 

I just meant that if it wasn't ever really a Chrysler vehicle, no need to keep a Chrysler "bloodline" engine like other's were saying.

 

I'm currently swapping a Chevy LS series motor in my XJ. it is much easier to swap the LS then it is the hemi

 

I think the LS is the lighter if the 2 if weight is a consideration. And what about the stress on the non-frame?

 

I have done a few LS swaps and the aftermarket support for the swaps are readily available. Its gotten to the point ware pretty much just a little bit of know how and anyone can swap an LS in anything with in reason. Also the cost of a pull out LS is crazy cheap rite now. You can score a lq9 with decent miles for less then you can build a nice first generation small block. But either way you go I think if done rite you would really enjoy the attention it would grab at jeep events.

 

If i could fab my own mounts i would run a ford 400m with 4v aussie heads and the adapters to run a 351w intake to use the oem ford efi.Trans would be a c6 and np205.

 

Whatever you decide, I want to see pics
