I've been debating selling the CJ for awhile cuz it's only a 2.5L, it's rusty, and the engine is starting to go (it's already a rebuild). However, I like the CJ look and I find the thing REALLY easy to work on and I'm also learning a lot because I'm not afraid to try and do things myself since it's pretty much trashed anyways. With that in mind, I figure the engine will soon go and I'm considering spending the summer hunting for a 4.0L high output with fuel injection from a newer YJ. Here's some questions:
- Is this feasible? Is it a good idea and how hard a job is this to make it work?
- Any tutorials anywhere on it? (Bill?)
- Should I replace the engine/transmission/injection system completely? I'm thinking of buying a blown engine for cheap with the tranny and fuel injection system and spending next winter rebuilding it in my garage ...as both a project to learn how to do it and also so I can put a REAL engine in my CJ. What all do I need out of the YJ tho (in terms of engine/tranny/injection system ...any other misc parts I'll need to rip out?)
- Anything else anyone can think of that I should know about before I consider this?
Thanks!
