Is there anyone in the south king county area of Washington state that would be willing to an engine swap in a 97 TJ? We want to replace the 2.5L with a V8. I don't have a place, tools or the electrical knowledge to do the job. Or if you know someone will to take on the project, please email me offline at [email protected].
Thank you
Chris
What V-8?
1) Dodge magnum 5.2 or 5.9
2) Dodge Hemi 5.7
3) Chevy LS series
Those are your main top 3 choices. Next question is are you wanting to run a manual or automatic transmission? Transfer case? Stock or?
How much have you budgeted for this swap? Having a shop do the work for you is going to cost so you need to budget $15K or more depending on which engine you choose.
