Was wondering how hard an engine swap from a 2000 4.7 to a later 318 or even a 360 would be, and if an auto transmission from a 4.7 would bolt up to a 318. Thanks

 

it wont, its completely different technology since the 4.7 replaced the 318, so im not sure what you mean by later 318 since the last one in daks was 1999. the transmission will not bolt up either. same goes for the 360, it will not work at all. you would need a different engine and cab wiring harness, ecu, different motor mounts, different tranny mounts, different tranny and t case. if you really dont want a 4.7 and you really do want a 318 or 360, you should sell the 4.7 and just buy a dak with either of those motors already outfitted with it.

 

what i think hes sayin about the swap is it will take a lot of time and money, haha would be a nice project

 

not worth it but thats just my opinion. if your motor is toast i would just rebuild the 4.7 is would be easier cheaper and take way less time

 

or get a HO 4.7 like thunder did... just saying.. ;]

 

hehe yea, thought id ask lol... thanks for the info guys prob just end up rebuilding her..thanks again

 

its just so much work to do you know. if you end up swapping then HO would be the way to go, but nothing wrong with a standard rebuild

 

Exactly, thought id try lol

 

Oh what years did the "HO" came out in, just wondering for **** and giggles

 

I believe they started to put them in 2000 grand cherokees until 04. Im sure thunder will jump in I know he knows every detail about them.
