[QUOTE="OldJoe28, post: 441130, member: 21030"] Here us the story..... HAD a '89 YJ. ( last summer," my retirement project"). Got a rebuild able '86 4.2 to drop in it, but, never got the chance. Got an ," WOW I can' t refuse this offer" to sell YJ. Was 1/2through rebuild on '86 engine at the time. TRIED to sell as a package deal,but, guy didn't want motor. So, now I got a " fresh rebuild 4.2" and nothing to drop it in!! Going Saturday to look at a supposedly " clean, rust free" '04 Wrangler, 4.0 auto, ( 4.2 came outta a manual trans CJ) Now, before we all FREAK, I want to drop this 4.2 in, go carburetor, ( I got complete engine from donor CJ, intake, exhaust), drop in a HEI dist., unplug, remove all the injection. ( I'm ol school, like simple easy to set up, maintain kinda guy). I CAN work on ," modern" computerized machines, but, prefer carbs! I' m pretty sure it will bolt up, some coolant hose mods, figure out fuel tank sending unit to remove electric fuel pump,, ( heater hoses, carb linkage). Will this bolt up, fly wheel, most likely harmonic balancer all fit the 4.2? I would hate to have fresh motor, a nice project, that neither will fit! Just trying to ," make sure", before I jump! Tanks!! Joe [/QUOTE]
