[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 440411, member: 18789"] Sounds like a project someone started and couldn’t finish. That does sound like an 05 TJ engine. If I bought that Jeep, I’d scrap the motor and megasquirt in it and find a 99 and earlier TJ motor or 01 and older XJ motor. The 00+ TJ block is completely different with different holes for different brackets and none of it is common to YJ. 99 and older TJ is common to YJ and all XJs are common to YJ as well. Only thing is a TJ motor and 96+ XJ motor won’t have the hole in the cyl head for the YJ coolant temp sending unit. Sorry that doesn’t exactly help you get the thing going, and I don’t know what state it’s in. If it isn’t running, then what I suggested is what I’d do because it will be difficult to get the accessories all happy if they aren’t already. [/QUOTE]
