Ryans88 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Hey guys so I’m trying to do the 97+ swap on my 88 Comanche. I’ve got a 2000 or 2001 donor xj that I’ve pulled everything from. Both cars had fuel injected 4.0s and I’m swapping all the electronics and exhaust. I’m coming close to it being a running and driving car but I think it needs to be inspected by a BAR ref. If anyone has done an engine swap in California, specifically Southern cali, please lmk how to go about this. Thank you in advanced!

The86manche Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I have not as i do not live out in California but I just wanted to give you a heads up about the 2000-01 xj 4.0s. The heads have weak castings and tend to crack between cylinders 3 and 4 right below the oil cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a spare tupy head for whichever one goes out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 @boxyjeep might have some words of wisdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxyjeep Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Haven’t done this but believe you need to call the state ref and setup a time for it to be inspected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
