V6 exchange for I6???? will it work

I recently posted about an overhaul kit for my 96 Cherokee 4.0 decided thats not the way i want to go and i have another jeep i can get it has the regular v6 in it though does anyone know of any problem i would have swaping motors possible transmissons as well not sure what year the other jeep. Thanks in advance i really need to get my cherokee back on the road

Do you mean swap a V6 in place of your inline 6?

Most people want to swap things the other way.

This question was answered just a few weeks ago, (ahem) by me.

Either way, its a difficult swap.

Yea i would like to keep my I6 but not to sure if it can be rebuilt and i ran across this V6 when i was looking for another 4.0 and have been thinking about swaping, you other post helped thanks lot of changing and modifing huh?

you dont happen to know any other motors that will change out with a lil work do ya?

thanks

well, I've seen it done, there's a guy I know that took his '93 Cherokee w/ the 4.0 and put a Chrysler 360 V8. I asked him what he did he said he had to change his motor mounts, transmission, computer, radiator and hood. Of course, his Cherokee is lifted on 33s and he can afford to do that. Your best bet would be to just (I don't usually recommend this) go to a junkyard and do a motor swap from a wrecked Cherokee, 91-99.

Bet that is a beast of a jeep, ive looked around junkyards for a I6 no luck. But i have yet another question Ford of all people made a stright 6 300 anyone think that could be bolted and wired up?

unless you get it carbureated, that won't work.

that should be simple enough i'll keep yall udated on my progress and if it works

I would say dont do it, just because it will caust you alot of money and you wont get the tourque you want. but thats me.

Changed my mine yet agin. Found a 92 Sport thats kinda rough gonna get it for a few 100 change out motors and probly keep it around for any extra lil parts i may need

but thankz
