Engine swap, different year compatabilities?

[Tassie Jeeper]

Tassie Jeeper has returned!!!

Ok so ive finally got the old tj back on the rd, new rodends, trackbars, draglink ,pitman arm, full RE rebuild kit fitted.

Now i need a new motor, my cousin will no longer have the time needed to rebuild my engine but has had a tj turn up at his work and with family rates i can have it for $1400!!

The only thing is im not sure what year it is, he is going to find out for me and i told him id look into the compatability of other years to see if we can retrofit if its different.

So my question is this:
My tj is an 01 im pretty sure the 97-99 are out (dizzy instead of coilpacks) but what about the 03+ models i remember them being slightly different too but will that matter? would it be a straight swap or would it need modification?

I have this page book marked for engine compatibility:

Sounds like you need a 2000-2006 wrangler for engine compatibility.

I believe , with a bag of money , an LS will fit into any year TJ ☺

nods, yes I believe it will. Although that supercharger 6 sound could be addictive also

Yes I matched a 97 motor to my 01 which worked .. I had to change the dizzi to electronic and reset , and the coil
Packs had no brackets so improvised ...
