Hi all. Havent been on this forum in a while, but had a few questions. I have a 93 XJ with a 4.0. I am looking to swap in an AMC v8, more than likely a 304, OR, a ChryCO 318 or 360 magnum (carbureated). I am just looking for any help on the subject. if I can remember correctly, someone on here has done a swap with the 304, and another with the 360. I am compltely AGAINST swapping in a chevrolet engine. For those of you that are going to suggest that, please don't bother. Yes, I know how much easier it is. No, I will not do it. If someone could direct me to a build thread on this subject i would greatly appreciate it. This will not be a stock engine. I am mainly interested in information on wheather or not i can use my transmission, if anybody makes motor mounts, etc. How can i tell what transmission i have (I believe it is an AW4), and if it is any good? It is an auto without the comfort power option. P.S. this is a 2wd application. I am going SRT style with this. I know that the 304 and the 4.0L share the same bellhousing pattern. What is needed to mate them? Thanks.

No I haven't. I'll check it out though!

Yes, BUT, I believe my Cherokee is spring over axle. A block would lift it.

Now I know that you can swap the rear suspension from a Cherokee onto a Comanche, and if I remember correctly, it will give a lift to the Comanche. But, how hard would it be to swap the rear suspension from a Comanche onto a Cherokee? Will it lower the Cherokee at all? Reason being, I'm currently building an SRT inspired XJ. I have a front air dam from a street Comanche, and 17" rims that are nearly identical the the Grand Cherokee SRT-8 rims. I am also installing rear coils from a TJ on the front, in which I am anticipating almost 2" of drop there. So hopefully, this will work out the way I am expecting it to. Any input is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Ryan.

Thanks! That was what I was hoping for. Gonna do a cool project that involves a light running below and along the kick panel and sill plate, to give a cool glowing effect on the floor when the dome lights come on. Try to do a write up too.

Does anybody know if its got power to it? Any additional wiring needed for these lights? Or is it pretty much plug n play?

It's been dangling under the dash for a while, but I can't seem to figure it out. It's in my '93 xj. It doesn't have the courtesy lights near the feet. Is this for them? Prewired from the factory? Thanks!

Like the title says, I am looking for any street comanche specific parts. Ground effects etc. Everything besides the piece that goes on the bed. You can reach me by the site, or by phone. My number is 517-489-9100(call or text) Ask for Ryan. Thank you.

LOL. Took the spoiler of my buddy's mustang.

It's located in Belding? I believe that's where it is. My friends father in law owns it. It's called Antcliff auto salvage. I'll get the exact location from him.

Yes, that is a Honcho.

Make an srt-6 comanche. Even though I'm doing it with my cherokee, id still like to do it with an mj.

If I were to buy this, I would gladly do just that. Considering the cost wasn't too extreme. I would also have to find a specialist.

I know. I was just being silly. Everyone on here seems to be pretty good with stuff like that.

***DIBS!!!

I might be interested in it if you were looking to sell it.

Whew!!! Good thing I read that. I was at the junkyard today and almost got one.

cool. thats what I was looking for. :thumbsup: I'm going to make an SRT-6 version of an xj and those would be perfect painted body color.

Will 97-01 bumpers fit directly onto my 93 xj without modification? If not what needs to be done?

You would hate the dentist even more if when you heard her say "oops". And three weeks later you had to get a root canal because when she was filling a cavity she drilled too deep.

I was wondering If all other years would fit, was thinking about getting late 90's knuckles and upgrading to a non-serviceable bearing. Joey Beam? Never heard of him. I didnt think anybody would have even heard of Eaton Rapids. I'm deffinitaley surprised.
