Minor upgrades leading to extensive overhaul

After researching and debating ways to fix my blow-by problem I played around with the idea of installing a 4.0L engine from a Grand Cherokee. This upgrade would not only take care of my problem but also offer fuel injection and electronics from the OBD1 era. The great thing about this is the engines ability to be a direct bolt in.


My donor was from a 96zj. I purchased an engine wiring harness, computer, and dash wiring harness to match. I also puchased the CPS relocation kit from Hesco.
While tearing out the old engine I made the decision. Since half the Jeep is apart, why not tear it completely apart and rebuild it the way I want with new reliable options. This means that I tore it down to just the frame.
