Jeep Liberty V8 Swap Megathread
Just a quick update today. Got the 4.7 in the engine bay and all bolted up to the transmission. As expected, it hooked right up to the 45RFE without a hitch. Time to work on the mounts. Once those are worked out, the rest should be a piece of cake (knock on wood). Shooting for a test start...- Honduras

I didn't do any of the wiring for the Harness. That and the ECM were taken care of by the folks at hotwireauto.com. Waiting on a new set of ignition coils and an oil pump screen. Also, the Durango mounts didn't work either. They will have to be modified to fit against the KJ engine mount...- Honduras

The harness and ECM have already been taken care of. The stock KJ harness has been repinned for the two additional V8 cylinders and the stock ECM has been reprogrammed from a 3.7 to a 4.7 HO.- Honduras

Ordered a set of Durango mounts. Delivery time is pretty slow down here so I don't expect to get too much accomplished until they arrive. Sucks because we were looking to get the engine mounted and bolted back up yesterday. Sorry folks! :(- Honduras

Zoomed in for clarity of discussion. Yeah man, I've been looking at the Dakota/Ram/Durango mounts. They all appear to be very similar, if not identical, in how they connect. Kinda in a bit of a panic trying to figure this out. There's a way, but man, I was convinced that the WK mounts would...- Honduras

Big problem... Huge difference between the engine mount location on the 4.7 and the KJ mount brackets. The Grand Cherokee 4.7 mounts are about 6.5" forward from where it would need to be connected. Measurement from transmission to the end of the mounting bracket: Might be a...- Honduras

All hoses, radiators, starter, motor mounts, etc disconnected. Only need to move the engine lift in to remove what's left of the 3.7. A pretty sad-looking KJ: Tomorrow: Remove engine and 3.7 mounts. Get new gaskets installed in the donor engine. Prep for insertion into the engine...- Honduras

The '02 is officially at the shop. Going to go pull the motor tonight to get things kicked off. Donor engine is a 4.7L HO out of an '04 Grand Cherokee. All parts, with the exception of the remanufactured block, fuel line, intake manifold, and oil pan, are brand new. Unlike other folks that...- Honduras

OK, so let's be serious...4.7l swap.
So it's looking like the V8 swap will be officially starting next week. I will do my best to document and photograph the entire process so as to let other folks who are interested in taking this project on know exactly what is involved. As with anything outside of my realm of expertise, I'm...- Honduras

V8 engine swap
Just for the record, I have not yet started. Everything is ready to go, but I won't have time until the 2nd week of October. Looking at all of these parts is killing me. I don't post much on the boards very much, but I'm always here lurking. :)- Honduras
