GC V-8 in a XJ?
Can a Grand Cherokee V-8 bolt up to a XJ AW4 & motor wiring be the same? I talked to a guy @ the JY & he said he did 2/3 (?) of these a few years ago.Used exisisting wiring & did NOT move the motor mounts. Is he full of *****? Or what?

he's probably full of it, and anyways someone did the math on the 5.2 v8 swap and you only gain like 40hp, and it's a lot of work to put it in for 40hp

A little off topic but nearing the same concept, I did read about a bada** ZJ with a 5.7L HEMI swap. He had to change out the transmission too if I'm not mistaken but he had some serious low end torque and pretty good top end too..

This was just a question.I was unsure if this guy was full of bull or not.He did seem serious.Guess I can't trust him? Duh!
