Hello all. I was just thinking about this one day - regarding all the talk about engine swaps a couple of months ago. Had anyone considered replacing the engine and tranny with some light pick-up tru

I've put some thoughts into using a Jeep 4 liter engine and drivetrain. The 200hp, 260ft-lb output from the straight six is a bit more than peppy, and very reliable (I've put over 140k with only rout

I have a '98 Cherokee with the 4.0 and that sucker is HUGE!! I'd be REALLY surprised if it could be made to fit between the frame rails at the bellhousing, much less in the engine bay. Would it realy

I haven't taken the tape measure out, but the engine schematics fit in the frame schematics (yes, they were at the same scale<g>) I lined up the engine mounts and the frame mounts, and the top of the

I might be wrong, but I thought the Jeep engine was a torque engine. Not a quick wrapping run through the revs engine. More suited to moving slowly while climbing over anything. Andy L. '70 Spit

Isn't that 4.0L engine really a development of the old, time-honored Rambler American/Classic (and whatever else) six? One of the all-time great sixes, but not necessarily a sporting one? --Andy * *

Man, I'd think it'd be MUCH taller. But, to think - all that power, and you'd STILL get your oil leaks! My '99 Wrangler 4.0l just started leaking - good girl! ;-) Chip '71 MKIV Spitfire - 'Ol Smokey

Anyone ever attempted a Toyota 22R swap? These 2.4 engines are GREAT. They can be beefed up cheap too. I have always wondered how a Spit would perform with Toyota engine/trans/rear....not to mention

If you are going to put ANYTHING different in it, might as well make it dependable/efficient/stronger. Power to weight is much better than with a I6 I would imagine. I have a 4.0 in my Jeep, but woul

If your after an off road Spit, don't I have a much better idea. You get an offroad car and produce a Spit body kit for it. You then make and sell this. Afther that you buy and island and retire. Saf

Don't know about that, but the 4.0l six I had in my '94 Cherokee was FAST, and the 4.0l six I have in my '99 Wrangler 5spd is almost as fast! It's a lighter truck, but the gearbox doesn't shift as fa
