Parking Garage Motor Swap

Swapping a V-8 into a Jeep fair-minded isn't that difficult anymore. Heck, you could basically do it in an office structure parking garage with no more than basic hand tools. Thanks to aftermarket bolster for Jeep vehicles fabricating motor mounts and scrounging junkyards for the radiator with admonish outlets and enough capacity to cool the new engine that still fits your Jeep is a feature of the past. Even fuel-injected swaps are easier than ever with numerous companies present engine-specific, plug-in harnesses.

We had a '93 YJ that needed an mechanism. We knew we were going to bigger tires, so we went hunting for a penny-pinching V-8 from the same year or newer vehicle. We found one in the form of a '94 Chevy Caprice that was formerly a cop car. For only $1,000 we got a car brim-full with a 260hp LT-1 V-8 and a 4L60E transmission that we were actually able to drive to change sure the engine was in good working order. The transferring slipped, but we were still able to peel out at will, the engine had good oil influence, no knocking or other horrible sounds, and no smoke out of the tailpipe.
