Jeep Inplant
Well the inplant of the 5 cylinder into my 86 Cherokee is going pretty well got the motor in the hole the drivers side mount it all made and bolted in, the right side guna take a little more work due to the tubo waste gate being in the way but shouldnt be to bad, cut a little bit of the fire wall out to make changing oil filters easier and to let the motor sit back a little farther I dont know why they didnt bump back the fire wall from the factory there's nothing behind it at all wich is very good for me, I will try and get some pictures up within the next few days, 1 thing I do need to figure out is how to hook up the oil pressure gauge, what kinda fitting does the MB engine use ? it looks like a bubble flair line with metric flair nut the jeep uses 1/8 pipe thread so Ill have to find something to convert that, no way to fit the AC compressor where it is so Im working on finding a way to do that, thinking maybe and electric compressor there fairly small anymore and with an inverter would run just fine, I looked at the compressor off of a prius hybrid but it runs on 200V AC so thats out there are a bunch of small compressors on Ebay for cheap so Ill probably give that a shot, other then that things went pretty smoothly hopefully it will be in and runnable very shortly
