engine swap ???

Has anyone fit a Ford Turbo 2.3 I-LINE 4 into their Cherokee?

I had a Thunderbird Turbo coupe back in the day and it had a ton of power when you need it and good gas mileage.

you can use an outercooler instead....

theres plenty of room to mount an air-to-air or water-to-air intercooler with a 2.3 in the engine bay, that thing is tiny.

Would like to see this done....Only problem I see is figuring out a bell housing that will work. You could put a ranger drive train of sorts behinde it but....I wouldnt.

LOL. True enough, the 2.3 is short.
