Re: The Colorado BS thread
Any thoughts on... why not... I'm looking at gathering parts for a 360 5.9 magnum swap into my xj the donor 5.9 im looking at would be a very low miles 5.9 from a 1998 a zj this puts things like the starter on the passenger side and the mildly built 46rh I would use would require no electronics and since my atlas was ordered for a tJ with long 23 spline input I would not need any case changes just remove the spacer I put on to accommodate the aw4 short 23. I would warm it up a bit before installing the stick power is 245/345 If I recall from the 5.9 zj upping the hp to 300/400 would be fairly cheap and should still put out the torque at useable low rpm...The electronics such as my gauge cluster should work off the mopar motor as well . This of course would be more work than a stroker ,but probably cheaper for the actual power and less stuff Ned to be swapped vs a Chevy motor that bolts to nothing I have like my transfercase.
