I've got a 95 YJ 2.5L 5 speed. This is a popular topic, but I had a few general questions to get me going. Everything runs fine right now but I'm going to start putting together ideas for a future V8 conversion. I've tried to read up a little to get familiar with it, but there's overwhelming amount of ideas and opinions. I'd like to start looking for donor vehicles. Couple questions I'd like opinions on to start narrowing my search.
- What engine is easiest to put in and get going ? 350? LS?
- I think I need to steer clear of highly electronic (newer) engines. Agree?
- Do I need to get transmission that is already paired with engine?
- Is it completely necessary to change axles with the added power?
- Anybody know rough cost of having it installed?
