Showgoer Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 My in line is on its last leg thinking about a v8 swap. It is only 2 wheel drive. I was wondering what would fit in stock trans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 which engine? auto or manual? what year is your truck? there are a bunch of v8 writeups in the Epic Tech forum that you can peruse
Green Mesa XJ Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 Pete m is right, 2.5 has different options than the 4.0 transmission. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Showgoer Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 It’s the 4.0Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Showgoer Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 It’s an 89 4.0 automatic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
DirtyComanche Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 No. Swap the trans too. The AW4 is good, but you can only ask so much of it. Use whatever is native (and not junk) to the V8 you select.
Showgoer Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 I’m trying to figure out how to bypass or delete the ac unit . The compressor is bad and squels like crazy. What or how can I get ride of the ac and where can I find a bypass pully to put in it placeSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 I know the 4.0ho AC delete pulleys/brackets are available. I'm not sure about the older 4.0s.
Showgoer Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 Unfortunately the old 4.0 I can not find the pully for it so I was hoping that some one on here would know what to do or where to go. I have a couple diff jeeps here that iv done the bypass to. Ac unit bolts up completely diff from the othersSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 5 more posts and the classifieds will open up for a wanted thread. I'm sure somebody has one.

Why delete that which you will replace? For the trans, since you are keeping it 2W.........TH350 or go with the 700R4. Keep it simple. Assuming your are going SBC which is the only practical swap IMO. See KansasHogan.
Showgoer Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 I’m leaving everything the way it is I just get tired of the sqeel all time as I’m driving. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
zomeizter Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Show, a squeal is making you consider an engine swap?
Showgoer Posted January 29, 2019 Author Posted January 29, 2019 No the sqeal is not making me want to do engine swap. If I left it 2 wheel was gonna do a v8 but now I’m thinking of converting it to 4 wheel so I may keep what’s in it or go to a newer 4.0. My new question to this is with the transmission that’s in it can I put a transfer case on that trany or do I have to change trany? And how do I figure out what rear end I have and the gear ratio. What is the typical factory set up for the two wheel drive system? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 4.0+auto = 3.55 from the factory (both 4wd and 2wd). it's easy to check by jacking up one rear tire (trans in neutral) and spin the tire around exactly *twice* while counting the number of times the driveshaft rotates. it the driveshaft rotates about 3 and a half times, it'll be 3.55. If it spins a tic over 4 times it'll mean 4.10s. etc. a basic 4wd conversion needs a 4wd trans with appropriate t-case, 4wd shifter bracets and handle, front axle and driveshafts. Typically you can buy a whole XJ and get those parts cheaper than a junkyard, but a lot depends on the yards near you and the end goal of your build. it's common practice these days to buy up a whole newer XJ and do a more thorough swap for more modern electronics. up to 96 will make use of your stock dash, 97+ will need even more work to fit the newer style dash. also, be sure to add in your truck's specs into your signature.
Showgoer Posted February 21, 2019 Author Posted February 21, 2019 I want to use an auto trany and transfer from a 98 grand Cherokee to convert my 89 Comanche to 4 wheel. My Comanche has the 4.0 renix is there any thing else I need out of the grand to complete this swapSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pete M Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 what trans is in the grand cherokee? what engine?
Showgoer Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 4.0 ho auto trans not sure on how to tell difference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Eagle Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 This discussion has morphed from an engine swap to a transmission replacement -- and there's a new thread going on that topic, so this one is closed.
