Hello, I am working on restoring my 1993 YJ 2.5. My frame was shot and I got a donor 1988 2.5 frame. I stripped the frame down to bare metal, primed, painted and looking to drop my rebuilt 93 2.5 into it. I’m learning that the engine perches from 87-90 and 91-95 are slightly different.
Has anyone used 88 2.5 engine mount brackets on a 93 2.5 successfully? Any clearance issues?
I’m leaning towards drilling a new hole on the passenger perch to put a brown dog motor mount frame bracket. Really want to know if anyone has any experience converting an early 2.5 YJ frame to a 91-95 YJ frame.
In the pics I mocked up the 88 2.5 brackets on the updated block. Just not sure if this has been done, seems to work just trying to avoid issue down the road.
There is also one pic of the 93 engine brackets showing how I would need the cradle to raise and move the mount.
Appreciate any insight you guys have
