I found one I'm going to buy Friday unless something else pans out. I found this guy through a Auto Salvage site. 425.00 shipped and includes a 90 day money back warranty.

I just bought a new set of 33 12.50 KM3's but want to go a little taller. Do you think a 6" suspension would look odd with these? I'm just looking for opinions guys. I know a V8 sounds better than a 2.5 - 4.0 swap but this is my first build and I'm going for less expense since i'm putting a lot...

It should look fine.

Any way you can email me a quote?

Looks great man. I have the engine already in my Magnum R/T and will just put it back stock for expense purposes and it had good HP/Torque stock to be more than enough in a TJ. I plan to use my AX15 with it for now if I go this route. I've already put a good 4k in the Jeep already so I better...

If that's the case, this is definately no Rubi which doesn't matter to me, I just want to make sure I get the right thing for this engine no matter what it was in. I guess his Rubi engine was replaced at some point. It was definitely sitting in a Rubi when I got it and he swears it was all...

Ok, I still need to make sure it's all correct for my Serial Number. I called the guy I got the engine from and he says it's 100% a Rubi Engine because it came out of his Rubi. But, the serial doesn't end in an R so I'm puzzled and don't want to get the wrong thing. I'd really like a price so I...

I'm frustrated with trying to get wiring and ecm and I have a 5.7 HEMI I'm thinking about just putting in instead or go with an LS. I thought this swap would be a piece of cake and wanted to keep it light/inexpensive. I've dropped about 4k on the Jeep so far and still has no engine in it. My...

No, I bought it a couple months ago and rebuilt it. I've pretty much just got to put the pan and Valve Cover on it. A couple of my pictures are the Before and after. I put new pistons in, all bushings, seals etc.

Awesome Write-Up. I have a 2006 Magnum R/T with with a 5.7 HEMI I am thinking about swapping into my 1997 TJ. I was going from a 2.5 to a 2003 4.0 out of a Rubi that I rebuilt but the wiring harness and ecm are being a pain to get which blows me away. I am curious about price and complications...

I need a Wiring Harness and ECM for an engine swap. The Jeep started as a 1997 TJ SE with 2.5 and AX5 - The engine swap is a 2003 Rubicon 4.0 and a 1998 AX15 with 1998 NP231 Transfer Case.

Ironically I thought putting a jeep engine into a jeep would make my life easier when it came to finding a PCM and wiring harness. So far the wiring harness and computer has been the hardest part of the entire rebuild and swap. If I don’t find one in the next couple days I’m saying the hell with...

Thanks guys, I got the Pocono ones ordered off Amazon yesterday.

I just wanted to add an update. I was incorrect about the Engine year. It is a 2003 according to the Block numbers. Also, I wanted to add that my Transmission is an AX15 Manual and Transfer Case is an NP231 both out of a 1998 Wrangler Sport.

Thanks man.
