Well just got a layoff from work, so I have some time on my hands.
Just got a wrecked '98 4.0 auto from my aunt with 88,000 on it. I have a pretty clean '99 2.5 2dr with a 5 speed, but the little 2.5 has seen better days. I have all or most of the stuff I'm gonna need, so i'm gonna swap them.
On the later models is this a pretty straight forward swap? I'm no newb, I've built quite a few different rigs and cars, just looking for a little heads up if anyone knows what headaches I my run into. Am I going to need to swap the whole harness over? Will i need to cut off the frame mounts and get new ones? That's the kind of stuff i need to know. I do want to switch it to an auto so my wife and kid can drive and wheel it. They got pissed when I said I was gonna keep it a stick. Don't really have the $ to buy a ax-15 right now anyhow.
Thanks in advance.
