New engine looks different in certain places. What do I do?

As a 32year old manbaby, I like to make my own uneducated decisions and then seek validation from a like minded community for an ego boost.

It isn't rocket science. The block # will tell what accessories are on the front and the head# tells whats on top. Most of us here actually wrench on our jeeps and have a lot of knowledge. You aren't schooling anyone. It isn't a competition. Answer the questions posed and pay attention to get help.

Where you are at a disadvantage is you only know what your "mechanics" are telling you and what you misinterpret from google.

I'm not convinced he was dealing with the motor that came in the rig. We've all read 1000's of posts over the years about motor swaps and trying to find parts for oddball combinations. It simply makes no sense that a TJ came from the factory with an early lower end and a later upper end. What does make sense is someone swapped in a Cherokee motor and made it work. There is no way around the coil rail connector that the average person will be able to do without replacing the engine harness. That means they had to use something that came with a coil rail and the rest was secondary to solving that problem.

Actually I'm going to have to stop you right there. I have rebuilt and took apart 4 1/2 jeeps since this one. I know my shit. I'm tired of you guys trying to down play people. No one is trying to school anyone. In fact I think i should if you all are believing me to think I'm highly competent in everything. Obviously this forum still exists today due to millions of issues that still goes unsolved.


If you read every single message I sent you'll see what the issue was. All I was asking is that the community give people a chance to reply instead of saying "I hate when they don't reply back" and such. No one messaged or called anyone. So a quick response only exist when the person asking the question uses it as a daily driver; maybe. This is one of many wranglers I own.

I'm going to school you right now! If you dont have any other knowledge or how to fix it, don't make yourself look dumb online. I Cleary spent a total of 1year and 6months figuring this out. I paid for a beater that I welded, recarpeted, changed mad parts and drove it from D.C to Texas. It broke down from a head crack and towed it to LA. I fixed the head and needed resize the cylinders. I didnt do that one, the mechanic did, then he let it set in the rain. It wouldn't start since then. I gave every Vin number and part number to numerous of people and this is what the conclusion was.


I in fact did what someone on here advised (to go to someone to get it rebuilt) before I even seen the reply. There were so many on here that thought I wasn't knowledgeable about what year I had because of my bottom block. Then I showed the title and infact schooled others. Yall then said I needed to configure some things to make it work. I did just that before yall told me.


Again thanks to all whom helped. Everyone else that is just trying to put their 2cents in only because they are behind a screen, is just trying to get seen or get likes. Idk, I thought this was a nice community you could come to, to have extra options in your pocket from similar people with similar problems. To be honest, I don't think I would be helpless if I never found this site. I as a man, could've found help in this world without this site. It's just a great perk to chat with like minded ppl. Clearly you're out to just bash so you do that and I'll go run my businesses and live more before it's too late. Peace love and happiness. You won, at whatever you was trying to achieve! To all others... seriously thanks.

I just went back through and the only question I asked that you actually answered was to put up the title which is not the build date I asked for. If Jeep Parts Depot paid more attention, they would have known that the motor that was in the rig as you bought did in fact come out of a Cherokee. There is a very high likelihood that the original motor was swapped out for the Cherokee version and then cobbled together. All of which we could have figured out for you had you been kind enough to just answer my questions.

lmao thanks for making me giggle with this reply! I’m definitely a fan!

gotta love when a house boy flaunts the shit as his own.. your schedule looks familiar, i might know who your boss is lmao.

don’t forget to fill the gas on that levante so your owner doesn’t get mad. FYI that 76 gas station off wilshire doesn’t exist anymore so bring a gas can to top off when you put that shit box back in the garage.
