Engine SwapAn engine swap is the most frustrating modification you can make to a Jeep: You position the motor too high and you can’t close the hood, too low and the axle makes a window in the oil pan when you hit your first bump, too far back and you’ll end up beating the firewall with everything in your toolbox, too far forward and you can’t fit a proper fan and radiator, too far to the right and the exhaust hits the steering shaft, too far to the left and the starter hits the driveshaft. Most Jeep engine compartments offer very little room for error when swapping in a V-8. And I haven’t even mentioned driveshafts, fueling, cooling, or exhaust routing issues yet.
