Post by: nozzy1968 on November 03, 2010, 11:50:03 AM
Hi Jeepstas,

I have a 95 YJ 4.0l manual petrol and want to swap it for a diesel lump.

Pop quiz, does anyone know what engine will fit????

Answers and advice are greatly received.

Blubber put a 2.8TD Daihatsu in a CJ, but that wasn't full of electronics like a YJ. Buy a 90 TDi and put
a YJ tub on it.

the club realy hasn't got the experience of swapping to a diesel and everyone mainly slates the vm lump, stateside they tend to have the ability to throw money big style at engine swaps and diesel ones at that so it seemed the more sensible option to show what the cost and work is involved.

It's not that people have to throw lots of money at engine swaps, it's that it's cheap to do. There are so many cars here that it's
borderline ridiculous. There are lots of scrapyards, the kind that just dump the cars in a field and let you go and pick your own parts.
Every other person has a pickup and a trailer, so you can easily move parts around, and many people have their own workshops.
Tools are cheap too.
