No...I really don't want to change the 'reluctor' &scam wheel...
Generally, this is do-able as long as you are using all of the electronic systems that go along with the new motor/tranny swap. The donor vehicle needs to be the same or newer for emissions purposes as well as it must run as clean or cleaner than the target vehicle. (I see yours is so shouldn't be a worry). If your state has emissions testing, check with your DMV about the local rules on emission requirements when swapping drive trains. Lastly, you will want to make sure the chassis is the same between these years as if they are not, things may not be a simple bolt-in job. Good luck.,
Testimonial: "Thanks for the encouraging comments...is there a way of determining a chassis match ( on the VIN decal maybe?)"
VIN won't help on that question. Check cars.com for the look on the model years. That's usually a good clue since the overall look will be basically the same during a model run. Another way is to join an enthusiasts blog for your vehicle and see if there are charts indicating the differences or just post the question there.
answering for USA cars, and only 3.7L
VIN K car. (engine = K = 3.7L)v6
no engine stated or if 4wd?
car-parts.com (wreckers net)
this is the free, look up of all wrecked cars
and they can tell you what engines swap
no engine stated.
how can anyone answer.
"and computer" why say that,"
all you need is a good engine
a long block. none stated.
2.4L engine or 3.7L V6
?>????????????????????????????
are both 4wd????????????????????
42RFE trans. in all. a/t
the 3.7L is called by jeep the EKG engine
if you pretend to by one, rebuilt.
it tells you flat out what years match.
why not do that on this unstated engine.
a long block is devoid of manifolds
and sensors matter too.
they must be correct for the 2003. system.
as you may not know, swaps are not simple.
its a complex topic
after all the PCM runs the whole car.
drive line. and most match.
this is no 1986 jeep.
tell the helper what you dont want to replace
is really bad form.
you will do what must be done, no matter what. (Ill not tell you what smog laws are in all of N.America, ever)
EKG started in 1999. (wiki that)
its a chopped down 4.7L, v8 to V6
they are sister engines.
lots of 3.7L in jeep and dodges.
in fact there are so many of them now
many builder sellers need no core charge.
im doing your job for you, im asking builers
some say 03./04 are not same.
2005 is major changes, new cam and valve and new compression ratio.
my guess is they match.
EKG for EKG blocks. (long)minus manifolds.
the reman heads, with cam "D" shapped
combustion chambers.
match. 03./04, top sellers.
all you need is EKG block long, less than 2005
i think you have one.
here are the ropes
it must fit. (generational issues, abound)
must run.
must not confuse the PCM. or TCM !!!!(ask)
it must pass smog, (if in a smog zone)
or if in calif, it must pass inspection.
they can fail you there on LOOKS alone
wrong parts, or not listed in the EO book they have. (ask)
I'd check engine serials too,
who knows what is there, not me. not anyone.
