rockhardzj Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I too am sorry for the thread jack. I come from an off-roading forum where off-topic is all too popular. Anyways, I'm excited to see this go down. If it goes well, I may consider doing it...I brought the threadjacking back around here. If anyone needs any 4bt info, or a source for a 4bt, and transmissions, I can put you in contact with my buddy, he has a bunch sitting around, and has converted his 98ZJ to a 4bt with a turbo 400 tranny, followed by the original NV231.

SirFuego Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 While I don't exactly like this particular ZJ, here is one that has a Hemi in it: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2303256/7 Supposedly they needed to chop the crap out of the engine bay to get it to fit. I'd imagine the engine bay of a ZJ is much larger than a MJ. This might give you some ideas on how to make it fit though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQ Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I found a really decent low milage HEMI for around $3000, but the latest from the shop, is it will cost around $7000-$8000 just to put it in my truck. :eek: I can have a 350 put in and all the body work and Paint done for around $5000-$6000. I think I am going to kill the HEMI idea for now. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 aev wants about 15-17k to put a low mile hemi into a tj, so that price isn't too bad but how it would turn out depends on the shops capabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockhardzj Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Tell ya what, seeing how I can use money right now, Give me 1750, along with a plane ticket to go get your truck, We'll load up that HEMI you've got your eyes on, I'll bring it back, and swap it all for you, happily pissing my neighbor off even more, and You can get a HEMI powered MJ. Make sure to have cash avail for any misc parts that may be needed. Or set me up with $1000 bucks, warm dinner every night, and a place to stay, and we can do the swap there in Texas. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
