Ok never heard of this before , but have read about a few people having to do this same thing , I thought you were pulling my leg

 

Anyone have a little pix / write up of this for visual effect ?

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).

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:
