YJ: Breathing new life into my old YJ

[avjeepfreek]

After almost a year and a half with the YJ out of commission and in need of an new engine, I finally got the new crate engine and have started the swap. I decided to stay with the 2.5l.



The new crate engine.






Engine unpacked and ready for new parts.










Old engine out and ready to be stripped or parts.



Hope I remember where every thing goes! Just kidding!! Stay tuned, more to come......

I spy an MJR trophy. You know Scott you only have 2 days to get it in for IDTT.

I can see myself doing that in a couple of years. Looking forward to the progress Scott.

a new pair of lungs for the jeep is ALWAYS nice. Is it an ATK? My 97 cyl is getting tired and has piston slap... Gonna save about 3500 bucks, buy a 98+ 5.9 Durango or 1500 or van and rip the motor and auto trans out and do the swap nice, slow, and correctly. should put me at about 4000.00 total after selling my drivetrain and getting rid of the donor...
