I just found out Advance Adapters makes motor mounts to put the 4.3L in an XJ so I'm going to go ahead and do that with 3.5-4" of lift on 31's and use it as a Daily driver.

No there are no smog regulations to worry about. The one question I have about the swap of either the 3.4L or the 4.3L is will the stock motor mounts work with those motors or will I need to reposition the mounts? I can move the motor mounts if I need to but I would prefer to leave them where...

Thanks for the info, I was just looking into the options. If the 4.3L is a feasable swap then I'm all for it but I'm also looking into the option of just dropping a 3.4L in it and making it drivable.

What options for the 3.4L do I have and what issues with the motor mounts will I run into if I do go with that. I'm also more interested in swapping in a better transmission and T-case than the 3spd Auto and NP207.

The reason I would rather go with a complete drivetrain with the 4.3L is because I would prefer to be FI than have the Carb. I already have everything in my 2 bay chop shop to do the work and I've swapped engines many times already. I found a complete S10 Blazer drivetrain here in town on...

I'm hearing that the 4.3L out of a S10 will fit in it and I know of a motor and transmission for $600. I do need more info but I've always liked the way a nicely built XJ looks but for a hard core wheeling rig I prefer the visibility of a TJ. I drove an XJ one time offroad with 6" lift on...

I have a hard time deciding to build this XJ when i have my TJ already torn apart ready to start building the suspension. I don't have a title for the XJ yet because it has been sitting since 1998 and she lost the title. She can file for a lost title but then again I think this could be a...

If I swap anything I will get rid of the motor and tranny. I do have a pair of HP Dana 60s sitting in my garage that are supposed to go under my TJ but this XJ is making me think twice.

I just picked up this 1985 Cherokee Laredo from a lady that lives 4 houses down from me. It has a thrown rod in the 2.8L V6 engine but the Auto transmission supposedly works. The body is perfect except peeling paint but it has no dents and all of the windows and interior are nice. I have...
