    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    Well, I'm still alive and kicking. Things haven't slowed down as much as I hoped and this has still been one of the easier things to put on the back burner. I'm trying to limit my summer projects...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    Just to keep my build thread alive I figured I'd do a little typing. As I mentioned before, not a lot of progress is planned until I wrap up some other things. I've got my spring semester and...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    I thought I'd post a quick update on things. I picked up a flywheel for a '92 S10 2.8L that looks to be what I need. Found out from a V60 forum (and appears to be right looking at the flywheel in...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    The XJ's been put back on the back burner again. Seems like every time I think I can pick up a wrench again I end up with a few other things to deal with. Some for the better, some not so much. If...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    It seems like it is too thick to me too when I look at the stock one on the 2.8L. I wasn't sure when I first saw it if it was different for performance characteristics or something and would work in...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    The engine was originally paired with an automatic. I ordered a new flywheel for the manual tranny version of the same engine.

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    Seems like lots of stuff getting in the way of progress. Guess this will just be a bit longer of a project before I get to use it. I have gotten a few things done but not a lot this summer or fall...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    Quick update just to show I'm still around. Got a few of my cleanup items from my lift done, but not a lot else. Still hassles trying to get the engine wiring harness... I've been catching up on a...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    Good news, actual progress. :bacondance: To some it may not be much but at my pace lately it feels good (and I did it with still having a wicked cold). Got the rest of the engine bolts out and...

    Another not so exciting update, but figured it is better than nothing. Got my sway bar disconnects on and tie rod off (upgrading the ends). Had to order a couple of things so that will stay apart...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    Have you checked on Ebay for one? I know it isn't as nice as being able to lay eyes on it before buying but they seem to have just about everything. I found options for my harness from $100 that...

    Still no wiring harness or engine hoist, so figured I'd try to get a few other things done off my list. Got my rear receiver hitch installed and my bar pin eliminators on the front shocks. Too much...

    I think there's a decent chance I could have spliced it all together and made it work, but 2 things come to mind after some posts and thinking about it. The first is how much time (and actually...

    Thank you. I'm feeling pretty good today, hoping to be fully back to "normal" by morning. Got a few more gardening things to knock off tomorrow but may get to do something on the XJ too. As much...

    Thought I would give a quick update. Progress has been far from what I hoped so I can't post a ton. Couldn't get the hoist and stand again last weekend, so wasn't able to pull the engine. Probably...

    Re: '86 Cherokee "Jezebel"

    I'm about 99% sure you guys have leaned me in the direction of getting a full harness. I'm reasonably confident I could do decent job with things, but it creates a ton of variables that I don't need...

    When I went to pick it up and saw it was cut I raised some hell with him since I knew the pain it would be to splice everything. He apologized but basically said he can't fix the wires now so take...

    Yup, got the ECM. I got that with the engine and was a bit frustrated to see they chopped the wiring like they did since the sales guy at the yard and I talked quite a bit about what it was for when...

    The goal is to use the injection system that's on the 3.4L. Figured that may be a bit more complex to deal with but has its perks.

    That's probably the route I'll go. I looked at a lot of his stuff and it looks sweet. I'm still toying a little with the idea of building one just to try to "build" more stuff for my XJ, but with...

    Sounds like a plan to me. I figured I'd take a better look at that when both engines are out and on stands next to each other. I'm not much of a gear head so I'm trusting internet info until I can...
