Has anyone ever swapped in a 360 (5.9L) in place of a stock 4.0L I6 in an XJ???
Any feedback would be appreciated.

The 318 and 360 are the same dimensions. So if the 318 has been done, the 360 "should" be the same.
I don't have an engine yet. But I have a "toy" 97 XJ with the stock 4.0L / Auto. with 135K miles on it. It's still running very strong. But I've never been able to just leave things as-is.
I would think that the Dodge 360 would be an awesome addition, without going overboard. I'd like to also use the AX15 5-speed manual behind it...

You won't be disappointed

Did you swap the 318 in yourself (or have help with it)?5.2poweredxj said:I got a 318 in mine and I can't image have more in it. With 30" and stock 3.55 gears will break the tires lose on gravel at 50. I'll let you know what 33 act like on the stock gears later this week.
