[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 440415, member: 18789"] Also….2005s had the 6 speed manual and the crank sensor was in a different location, like 5:00 on the bellhousing. The 6 speed relatively sucks, and a lot of people swap to the 5 speeds. The people converting use a conversion bellhousing from Advance Adapters which puts the crank sensor in the 5:00 position while using the factory 5 speed transmission. 2005s also had the new “Next Gen Comtroller (NGC) PCM. They are notorious for being problematic. The solution there is to get a PCM from Mark at WranglerFix. The factory ones are hard to find and they are typically crap. I’d honestly consider getting an 00-04 PCM and the associated wiring. It will be easier and you can keep your bellhousing. The 05 motor doesn’t specifically require anything to be 05 specific, it’s essentially the same thing as what the 00-04s had, except 00-01 had the early 0331 head which cracked. The 05-06 had oil pump drive assembly issues as well, so you probably are better off swapping in the 00-05 cam synchronizer That goes in the distributor hole (where the distributor used to be on 99 and previous) and run it as an 00-04 motor. Good luck, curious to see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
