Hi guys, I've got a 1989 Wrangler with an AWD automatic transmission. The things got a lot of mileage so I've been thinking about getting a new motor to replace my tired old 4.2l with a 4.0l fuel injected motor and a new awd auto trans and I'd also like to upgrade the rear brakes from the drum units to disc.
Alright so here are my questions:
1) Would a newer fuel injected 4.0l motor bolt right up in place of the old one without any modifications?
2) Would the transmission fit in there properly as well?
3) Is there a kit out there to swap out the drums and replace'm with discs that don't require any extensive mods..?
4) Would you buy new parts or junk yard pull-a-parts?
5) Would I be better off just buying a newer Wrangler?
6) What do you think it would run me $$$?
I appreciate the advice, thanks.
