I know, I meant you showing up about the 5.2 basically being crap, how an XJ will fold under the load of a V8, and eventually revealing your awesome 5.3L and making us all jealous.

 

Lol I guess o won't do it, I figured cheap motor was worth the question

 

if it was a 5.9, i would do it.

 

The downside to Mopar V8 swaps is the width of the motor.

FWIW,
There's a current thread on NAXJA regarding this swap. You might want to take look before getting started so that you have an idea regarding the work involved

 

If you don't mind making mounts a 4bt cummins will make the torque of a big block.

 

Love the sound of a diesel, me and a few of my co workers have it all thought out how to do it even though none of us has or will... Just a little mental "project" we all bs about when we're doing mindless work haha

 

I have a 94 f150 that's getting a 4bt once i find one here cheap that's not messed up.
