YJ blocks & Cherokee blocks the same?
« on: December 02, 2006, 03:43:07 AM »
I've got a 1995 YJ 2.5L that has a hole the size of a softball, drivers side right where the oil pan meets the block.

I've been going nuts trying to locate a use block to swap it out with. I was curious if the Cherokees had the same motor and block? If so what years matched up to the 1995.

 Didnt seem to have much luck using the search forums.

 :(

You don't have to limit yourself to a YJ 2.5L.  I'd go with a +'91 though.  Cherokee, Comanche, TJ Wrangler should all share the same block.

Thanks for the info guys. I live in Anchorage, Alaska. It's been kinda tuff finding the right motor to match up. Only one's i've found so far have way over 100,000 miles.

I picked up a reconstruct tile Jeep to have as a project 4x4. So I'm trying to keep the costs down. Once I throw a new motor in it and see what else might be wrong with it. I can figure out how much more it will cost me to get it where I want it.
