Topic: blew my motor

[JCAUDILL0034]

somehow the 2.5 #3 cyclinder wrist pin came out and busted my block well anyways i found some motors for like 8-900 so i am thinking if i am gonna pay that why not just do a motor swap what motor will bolt to the 5 speed bellhousing i got ...i don't trail ride this one so i thought about just switching the bellhousing to a 4.0??? would the clutch and stuff be ok?? its just a driver so it should be ok like that i think...i just wanted to know what motors or bellhousings mork with my 98 thanks

...what motor will bolt to the 5 speed bellhousing i got...

Any GM V6 up to the 3.8L.  The 2.5L uses a GM 60* bell housing bolt pattern.

The 4.0L uses an AMC bolt pattern so that is a no-go.

so a camaro 3.4 or 3.8 does anyone make motor mounts for this swap

i thought that i could buy a bellhousing from a ax 15 and swap it on my ax5

AX5 bolt pattern won't match the AX15's's either.

Gen 1/2 usually refers to the 90 degree motors.  4.3L V6, 305/350 V8

For those Jeep gents that have broken AX5's laying around, Don't ditch the bellhousing. It may be used in a Toyota application and can bolt up any GM 60 degree engine (3.4/3.1/2.8 Chevy V6, Buick 3800 V6, Isuzu 3.2/3.5 V6, etc....) to the Toyota G series and W series tranismissions.

Pic 1 is a Toyota W58 out of a Supra hooked up to an AX5 bellhousing.

Pic 2 shows the AX5 bell planted up to a Chevy Camaro 3.4L V6.

Pic 3 For this to work with the AX5 bell, you'd need the thick (heavy) flywheel from a Camaro/Firebird. It places the clutch disk back far enough to completely engage the splines on the short W/G series input shaft. That's got to be at least 1 3/4" from the back of the block to the front face of the flywheel. The S10 flywheel is shorter and won't work.

This info was copied from this link It's about 1/2 way down.

If you stripped the block to the core, yes, it should.  Really though, $8-900 for a used core isn't a good deal.  Might as well have a rebuilder order you a reman. block.  Or just keep looking for a TJ 2.5L complete.  www.car-parts.com is the place to look.
