Agreed, the 3.6 adequate one the freeway, and it is more quiet. If I am going on a long trip I typically take the JKU. But the LJR is my go to for around town, going off reading etc. I am hoping to take the LJR to Moab one day.
Pentastar V6 in a TJ
- Thread starter Head Lice
- Start date
Have always been fond of the inline-6 engine configuration.
Comes from running logging equipment for 40+ years.
Big Caterpillar and Cummins power.
Along that line, a 292 GM or a 300 Ford would also be
an interesting transplant. Both have a big following in the
speed equipment availability, and they would be torquey.
The Ford would give you 50cu.in per hole, up from the stock 40 Jeep.

Trust me, I know a little about these. You don't want one.
I've got one of these, too, in a truck that I've had since'98. I love the engine, but it's a Big Block, and weighs 550 lbs. By the time you got that stuffed into a TJ, you'd have to reach into the back seat area to work the stick shift...

om606 from mercedes is the ideal swap in my opinion if staying inline 6.
