I put a cherry bomb glass pack on my 4cyl. i really liked the sound at idle. sounds like a V8 but as you get moving it sounds like a ricer car and on the freeway bring ear plugs. it was fun for a day then changed to a longer cherry bomb turbo.. much more tolerable.
this is an old post. i was ill informed of the axle its actually 3.73 gears and stock trac-lock still a D44a with disc brakes. if your still intersested send me a private message with an offer
do you know what the differences might be?
all i can find is that the 2.5 was used in the following vehicles:
1984–1986 Jeep CJ-7
1983.5–1984 AMC Eagle
1984–2000 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)
1986–1992 Jeep Comanche (MJ)
1987–2002 Jeep Wrangler (YJ/TJ)
1988–1989 Eagle Premier
1996–2002 Dodge Dakota
is it really that much? from what i can tell is its a 5hp and 11 lb-ft increase.
isnt it basically the same engine. im trying to find info on it. i guess i asking if anyone has done this before
i just plain flat out dont want an 8. i have an 8 in another truck just want something smaller and lighter.
dont newer 4cyl stock have a little more horsepower and torque?
could i put a better 4cyl. without changing the trans etc?
by better i mean have more hp and trq. stock.
the poor 4cyl. has seized up. some ppl throw some ideas at me. no V8s
most likely a 4cyl unless i can get a 6cyl. (either inline or V) in there for reasonable price. but with 6 i need trans etc. with any engine?
