| This is my wifes 1988 YJ. It started with a 4.2L and Puegot 5-speed. Well I got rid of that and installed a 4.0L and AW-4 four speed automatic from a 1995 XJ Cherokee. Thanks for the parts Kevin. Well I finally found sometime over the holidays to wrap this up. It was a blast. It sits there with a set of bomb proof engine mounts. The transfer case has been clocked. The 4.0 Litre has been stroked to a 4.7 Litre. I have not yet installed a SYE. I did install a 8.8 Ford rear end. Geared this baby to 4.10. Detroit Locker in rear. all my friends that have looked at it say it looks factory. I installed a 1995 Grand Cherokee center console. This also looks stock and is color matched/ New enterior. I installed a second set of temp, amp and oil pressure gauges. I was even able to use the aftermarket Cherokee K&N filter system. If anyone wants pictures, I will be posting them soon. Playing around I did find something funny. The YJ can do a four wheel burn out. My wife came outside and said some not so nice words tho'. My daughters sure loved it. Kinda makes my other YJ seem anemic even tho' I just installed a Howell fuel injection in that one over Christmas. Been a busy and productive few weeks. I was able to send the tail shaft section of the AW-4 to John Nutter. He did an excellent job at www.jnutter.com He reclocked it and I used the stock skid pan with four new mounting holes. I have to say it reallllllllllllly looks stock. Cannot wait to get tires and rims for it next. My oldest daughter is already trying to lay claim to driving rights to it? .....NOT..I was even able to modify the XJ transfer case shifer to work on it. I will be installing a True Track Limited Slip in front end in near future. I would definately recommend this swap. It was actually not that difficult. It was a lot better with the pro-fab bomb proof style 1 inch lifted engine mounts. I still have few small minor things to wrap up. |
