Hi!
I’m posting this because of a close friend of mine.
My friend who can no longer work on cars because of a prior accident. His only vehicle (a 2008 Wrangler) threw a rod. I was planning on putting another 3.8
in for him, but he told me he would like to do a 4.0 swap (presumably out of a cherokee). I’ve been trying to research if this is possible, I’m assuming I would need different motor mounts and probably would need to relocate them, ecu, trans etc.
While I do work on cars, and have for years. I’ve never completed a swap. Additionally I’m not as familiar with jeeps. I work with mostly Toyotas, or German diesels.
Does anyone have any insight they would be willing to share? Maybe I am searching incorrectly on google? Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I do apologize for my complete lack of knowledge, I am mostly self taught, and didn’t grow up around car enthusiasts.
Thank you in advance!
