	I've been debating selling the CJ for awhile cuz it's only a 2.5L, it's rusty, and the engine is starting to go (it's already a rebuild). However, I like the CJ look and I find the thing REALLY easy to work on and I'm also learning a lot because I'm not afraid to try and do things myself since it's pretty much trashed anyways. With that in mind, I figure the engine will soon go and I'm considering spending the summer hunting for a 4.0L high output with fuel injection from a newer YJ. Here's some questions: 1. Is this feasible? Is it a good idea and how hard a job is this to make it work? 2. Any tutorials anywhere on it? (Bill?) 3. Should I replace the engine/transmission/injection system completely? I'm thinking of buying a blown engine for cheap with the tranny and fuel injection system and spending next winter rebuilding it in my garage ...as both a project to learn how to do it and also so I can put a REAL engine in my CJ. What all do I need out of the YJ tho (in terms of engine/tranny/injection system ...any other misc parts I'll need to rip out?) 4. Anything else anyone can think of that I should know about before I consider this? Thanks!

	Hi Griffin, They say where's the a will there's a way. But the six electronics takes it's cue form the Crank Position Sensor located on their bellhousing, which stock is designed only to fit the automatic and Japanese AX15 transmission: http://www.billhughes.com/ax5_ax15.jpg but not your T-4 and Advance Adapters only adapts it to the commonly used Chevrolet: http://eshop.advanceadapters.com/commerce/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=1631 God Bless America, Гџill O\|\|\|\|\|\|\|O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ax5_ax15.jpg griffin wrote:> I've been debating selling the CJ for awhile cuz it's only a 2.5L, it's> rusty, and the engine is starting to go (it's already a rebuild).

	The bell housing issue is really easy to get around. Hesco has a damper/crank sensor kit to trigger the ignition off the harmonic balancer instead of the flywheel. The cost is around $300. I have even seen where someone put a fuel tank from a fuel injected ( fuel pump in the tank) Wrangler into a CJ and just turned it around so the same filler location could be used. He had to come up with some slightly different filler hoses but he wanted to use as many OE EFI parts as possible. A fuel return line may or not be required depending on the year of the fuel injection. It will take a bit of work but the results will be well worth the effort.
