Re: 4.0 -again

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wrangler and Grand Cherokee have centered belt driven fans.
Small Cherokee has an offset fan and will need to be replaced by an electric.
Otherwise the belts and pulleys will all clear in an American, Been there,done that!
  If you go to a carb you can use a original distributer if you wish. I'd recomend at least a pertronix upgrade over the points, but to each his own.
  The stock rad placement is fine if you geta thin enough electric fan.
I used pacers and moved my rad forward on the front side of the core support just because I had an older electric fan that needed extra room.
  I would recomend using the Fuel injection and all including the trans from the 95 it is exactly the vehicle you need to do this swap. You will not regret doing the full swap once it is done. It is well worth the work. Ou will end up with a car that runs like it has a small V-8 in it and gets between 20 and 30 mpg! No matter how hard you drive it!
  I wouldn't go back to a carbed six for anything!
  Read some online from others about this swap. Do a web search.
Don't forget to change the oil pan and pickup to a 258 car pan and pickup!!!!!
You don't want to use the 4.0L pan. It is too deep and will hit everything on the road!
I learned the hard way, So did Frank S. !

>Thanks for the info.  I found a running 95' 2wd jeep with 4.0L auto.  will that auto trans work?  If I left all the stock 4.0L pulleys/pump/fan etc intact would it work ok with the 68'  American rad placement?  what about using the old distributer? thanks frank
