what parts are needed for a 2000 jeep cherokee v8 engine swap?


Recommended Posts

ive always had this little dream of putting a 350 or a 383 stroker into my 2000 jeep cherokee, i have a few questions though.

how would i retain use of my speedo and fuel gauge in the dash,

how would you tie into the factory electrical while bypassing the computer

lastly are there any parta i am missing in my list below

.chevy 350 / 383 v8

. turbo 350 transmission

. larger radiator

. new engine mounts

. higher flow rate fuel pump, pressure regulator

. new transmission cross member

. stiffer front springs

. possibly a beefier rear end ( not sure if i have the dana 35 or not)

. ignition module

. serpentine belt accessory drive kit

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

350 from what? and it can be done but not going to be easy or cheap. and if your really serious/dedicated enough i guess lol your best bet is getting an lt1 or ls1 bolted up to a 700r because for it to be legal the engine being swapped in from a vehicle of the same year of the recieving vehicle or newer. on top of that it MUST be smog passable and obd2 compliant. not going to happen with a say gen1 350 on a turbo 350. only way really to go about it is a ls or lt on a painless custom harness.

also why stiffer springs???

stiffer springs because i,m sure the 350/383 would weigh down the front end more than the i6 does currently.

as for the legality thing i did not know that, i was actually looking at getting an older 350 and rebuilding it since there are so many of them and there are alot of aftermarket parts, another reason would be because the older 350's are carbed instead of fuel injected

are those regulations about smog and obd2 for every state or is a it a state to state basis?

If you gotta ask don't do it. My .02 cents.

Does your town do vehicle inspections? If so, you're shit outta luck. obd2 ftl

Still.

Inspection checks for misfires and what-not. When they plug their little reader in, and it sees no ecu. You fail inspection.
