will a 95 cherokee motor swap into a 99 cherokee

audioal69

Yes it will. Just depends on how you want to do it. Whole motor means whole wiring harness from donor. Just block and using what's attached to what you already have, no big deal

thats the prob i think my head on mine now is junk, would i have to swap the engine harness only? or just some pig tails? just curious?

audioal69

Well I did the same on an 89 that I swapped in a 95 engine and harness. It was the whole harness from headlight to tail light. Might be different in your case. But you can find cheap heads on here. I just seen one in the for sale section a couple days ago for $40. If I wasn't on my phone I'd share the link. Just do a search from for sale section for a head.

well the head is cracked and i have a rattle in the block

Swap it in as a longblock. Keep all your harness and sensors. Easy.

revsxj

what exactly do you mean by swap it in as a long block lol?

cruiser54

Strip it down to just the head and block. Install all your stuff on it like dizzy, manifolds and sensors. No need to change any fuel injection harnesses etc.

perfect works good considering the 99 intake manifolds are better......thanks

xjbeans

Just check your exhaust manifolds first if the are not the same its gonna be a pain

revsxj

whats the chances of it being different

cruiser54

Use yours and you'll be fine.

revsxj

ok any extra stuff i may have to buy? gaskets etc

cruiser54

Intake exhaust gasket, exhaust donut, motor mounts if needed.
