Gratulerer Amund.
Har vel vært en del jobb siden vi sto i Drammen en sen Søndagskveld og lempet deler ut av en lastebil<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> Men nå er det gjort<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Husker du dette Amund:
Engine Swaps:
First off, unless you are a total masochist you will want to avoid trying to install a 4.0L six cylinder. Jeep made a huge number of modifications in 1987 to install the six and it would be necessary to transfer all those components in order to stuff the long inline motor under the hood. To install the 4.0L into an older Jeep you would have to make a complete front core support change, moving the radiator forward more than a foot, change the hood and catch to match, and firewall modifications would be needed to allow the extended motor to fit back nearly under the dash. You would also have to change to a newer fuel pickup with an electric fuel pump and all new fuel lines as well as adapting the newer fuel injection engine harness into the older Jeep's wiring harness. Finally there are many small things that were changed. All of these items combined make this swap an economically unlikely job. Basically if you want a 4.0L motor sell your Jeep and buy one that came with it stock.
