NEEDED 2.5 MOTOR OR BOTTOM END

hey guys im new and im in need of a 2.5 motor or a good lower end... it will be for a 90 YJ... unless you guys have a better idea for a powerplant...

the motor thats in it now i can change the rod bearings through the side of the motor... any help is appreciated

also what motors can i put in this that will give me more umf that i wont have to go all crazy with adapters or fabrication i was thinking about a 4.0 I6 but i dunno maybe you guys can help me out

If it were me i would go ahead and just do an engine swap now. your going to pay close to the same for a 4 banger as you will for a 6... or just head out to the pick and Pull in Belton and see what they have laying around... I know there was a couple XJs out there and i think a YJ or 2

I agree-if you're going to put in that much effort-just find you a 6...if you can, get the engine and tranny-the 5 speeds they put on the 4 were junk-especially the Peugot...

If you are looking to do a sawp to a 4.0 and want to build a motor to your specifications, I have an extra engine in my garage. It came out of my '90 XJ (non-High Output) and I switched to a '92 4.0 High Output (modified). I have disassembled it completely with plans of building a stroker bored out .30 over. It has been hot-tanked and ready for the machine shop, just haven't taken it there. All components with it (ac, power steering, alternator, brackets, wiring harness, ECM, intake, exhaust, etc) are from a '92 XJ. If this is something you might be interested in, let me know.

why yes im interested can you pm me pics or post them in here...

also what transmission needs to bolt up to this badboy

I will post some pics when I get home this evening for you.

It had an AW4 automatic bolted to it, but I have a flex plate to mount the 5-speed manual also.

If you have the AX-15 or AX-5 transmission in your YJ, it will bolt right up to the 4.0.

fuckin sweet so my ax5 will bolt up to it untill one day i can upgrade it to something

i got the 2.5 sitting at the house so i got all the parts needed for it but was wanting bigger so yea how much you wanting for it and all what does need to be done to it?

This link should get you to some pictures of the engine.

I have a good running 4 cyl from a YJ if you are interested, or if that stuff didnt work out for you. email me at gail @ gmaglassworks dot com

I got a friend who has a 4.0. It's in a jeep, he wants the whole thing gone. So thered be a bonus of spare parts to sell off. I hear he's wanting cheap...
