Swap 92-95 4.0 in a 89 Cherokee
 

I have a friend with a 1989 cherokee with a bad 4.0. I have a good 4.0 out of a 92-95 YJ. Will this motor swap in easily to the Cherokee. The only problems I could think of is if the Renix Fuel injection intake and exhaust manifold bolt up to the block without any problems? Thought there might be some changes in that over the years.

Thanks
Josh

If you have both complete motors it should be a fairly easy swap. You may need to put the intake and a few other goodies from one on the other but no big deal.

92-95 block and head, everything else will be from the cherokee

Thanks

TRy to get ahold of JFiscus. Jason has swapped an HO in to a Renix body, I think

Here I is!

The only things not covered are AX15/BA15 trannys - if you have a standard shift there are a few other steps/variations involved sometimes. What tranny ya using & what year is it?

Thanks, PM'd you.

its an auto tranny...and is it really worth the swap i trust josh and all but its just a toy and DD in the winter.or just spend bout the same amount and get a used motor with 120k..thanks for the info guys..

The OBDI 4.0L HO is not much of a gain over the Renix 4.0L.
Whatever block is cheaper is the way I would go. It is really not much more complicated either way.
u-pull-n-pay Cincy had about 6 jeeps when I was there the other day if you need misc parts for the swap
