Jeep V8 Engine Swap Options
Part 1: Junkyard Jeep PowerplantsI had just completed an AX15 swap behind the 2.5L in my ’89 Wrangler. And wouldn’t you know it, shortly afterwards the engine started getting tired and developed sporadic drivability issues that made me question its reliability on any drive more than 20 miles from home. So, rather than rebuilding my stock 117hp, 135lb-ft TBI four-banger, I began searching for a replacement engine to swap in its place. In my opinion, a V-6 or I-6 conversion is just too much work for the power and drivability gains they offer, so I immediately started searching for a complete, running V-8 donor vehicle from which I could yank everything I’d need: engine, fuel system, accessories, exhaust, and sensors. I also searched for complete take-out engines, but was surprised at some of the prices being asked. Still, I soldiered on.
