Well I spent 8 hours of dewiring my 88 xj of all 4.0 wiring so my 5.2 wiring could be alone. I had layed the modified 5.2 harness over the 4.0 for about 6 months now. Also remove the trans and engine computer from under the dash. I got a good size shopping bag of wire that was removed. I do have some before and after shots. Also hid the amp wire and aux lights in the harness. Also install a remote starter for the lovely -15 days that we had week ago. Still have to do alittle work on the passenger side around the new fuse panel.

New aftermarket stock size 3 core. Haven't driven it in summer yet. Warmest I driven it has been 50s I think. The plan this summer to keep both electric fans and throw in a mech. fan if those aren't enough.

All that money to swap a 5.2 and look at that battery. Geeze man get a new one.
whats wrong with his battery??
 
The battery is one year old. It is a recondition one but it rated 800 cold crank.

To let you know I didn't spend much on the swap.
-350 for donor 93 grand cherokee
+300 for scrap metal and selling stuff on ebay
-150 radatior and fans

So only have about 200 bucks into the swap plus my time.
