Pete M Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 sorta. it'd be a huge project though. do you have the entire 2.5L Jeep? Which Jeep is it? MJ?XJ?YJ? What precisely went wrong with the 2.8L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 In order to make it work, you would have to swap everything over from the 2.5, including all the wiring... dash and engine bay. The radiators are the same between the two, and the trans are the same....like I said the hard part will be all the wiring swap over.... good luck.

shelbyluvv Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 WHEN YOU SAY DASH DO YOU MEAN THE WIRING FOR THE ECU Yes and all the underhood wiring. Please do us a favor and turn off the CAPs lock. It makes posts hard to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
