It's time for a new motor in my XJ. For a while I was drawn in by the idea of a stroker and the power....but before I bit the bullet cooler thoughts came into my thoughts. Besides, it's not a race car and a lack of power isn't why I'm rebuilding now. But rather than go stock, is there a...
So I'm looking to do my first engine rebuild on my 88 XJ with an old and tired 4.0. I've thought of doing engine swaps to a V6, V8 and such, but decided that it would be easier just to build what I've got.
Question is, where to start?
I've been looking at Engine Rebuild Kits and there are...
It's a 3.4L swap. The other engine was a typo. I'm not necc interested in alot of HP, just a good reliable engine.
I think this V6 is actually from a Buick originally I think.
I'm currently running a 4.0L, AW4, NP242 - all stock. The engine has had it. It barely had power before and overheated several times, now it won't hold water. It was 100% water and we had some really cold weather. Not sure if it needs freeze plugs or is cracked. Coolant leaks at the head...
I did mean 3.4L.
I was looking for another Jeep 4.0L and found this. I'm not familiar with the 3.4L and wasn't planning on such a swap, but I did like the simplicity of an engine without EFI, computer, etc.
Oh, and this jeep was totally trashed. Mine has a straight body and interior and...
I've got a line on a Stock Rear Tire Carrier off 84 Cherokee. Looks just like this one:
I was planning on only going with a 3" lift and 31" tires max. This should work well for something like that right?
It's still installed so I would be able to remove it myself and get all the brackets...
Hello! I'm looking for some advice.
I found a 90 XJ that is being parted out. It has a 4.3l V6 out of a camaro installed. Has Holly Carb and hi rise manifold in it. Cranks and runs well. I'm thinking of swapping this into my 88 XJ with a bad I6. Anyone have experiences with this swap and...
I'm in need of a new engine for my 88 XJ. Mine it totally stock, but the engine is shot. It has blowby, no power, has been overheated and otherwise abused. I found a 99 XJ that has been wrecked and is being parted out. The guy said the engine runs good. I'm looking for advice.
Will a 99...
For a while I was trying to get out there and scope the XJs, but someone said it right. The XJs get picked over in a HURRY. I'll look for ya next time Taylor.
Hey guys,
I've got to build the engine in my 88 XJ and I was thinking of going with a stroker. I mean why rebuilt to stock - right? Is there anyone in the Birmingham, Alabama area who has done this and can offer some advice on what and how the did it?
Thanks,
Danny
I think you're right about the Map sensor. Seems to be doing better now.
I swapped the heater hoses and it seems to be running, better. After doing that I drove around, up and down hills, idled at stop signs and finally came home. It ran about 210 at the hottest when I did all that.
I let...
You building a stroker or something? I'm originally from Hanceville, living in Birmingham now. I'd like to learn how to build a Renix 4.0. I think I might have to soon.
HELP!
:doh: I'm so frustrated. I've been having cooling problems with a cracked bottle. So, yesterday I installed a brand new bottle, flushed the coolant, installed brand new coolant, parked on an incline and bled the system. I also replaced the wire loom that goes along valve cover. NOW...
