Anyone put a 318 in Comanche ??

[pitbull4x4]

Here's reason I'm asking. My 4.0 that was original to truck had a warped head, block and piston problems so found a 97 Cherokee 4.0 that was rebuilt with around 40,000 off craigslist. Put it in last spring and about a month ago got a bad knocking. Guys going to pull motor (I have no garage) and see whats causing it. It has been bored so think if cylinders are bad will need a new engine again.

Been pricing 4.0 and they are $1,400 and up.

Its a 2WD, auto

If I could find a good running 318 would it fit and whats all involved ?

I'm not a chevy guy so no to a smal block chevy

It ain't anywhere near a bolt in.

It's a lot of work but it can be done.

After reading all the work going into a 318 think a 4.0 will be best. Thanks for the link
