Pete M Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 no joke. It's just that straightforward. :D (assuming that rusty bolts don't ruin your day) The engine mounts are bolted to the frame (unlike YJs, where the mounts are welded on).

reson46 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 If you could direct me to a link to a thread on what to do , It would be greatly appretiated Hopefully somebody that has done it can give you some more specific information, but basically you need to swap over everything from the donor - wiring, linkage, computer, dash, etc. Not only are you going from 4 cylinder to 6 cylinder, but also from AMC to Chrysler. Is that same XJ donating the engine? You've got a great group of friends. It's very cool to see all of them helping you. :thumbsup: Willy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
