Any info or advice on doing this swap for an '86 Jeep Cherokee that is powered...haha...by a dying 2.8L? I think I can pick up a used engine from a 94 Camaro pretty cheap from the Junk Yard out of a wrecked one.

You are my saving grace, I've been looking for an alteretive to the 2.8 for a while now. I was wondering if you knew how the 3.4 bolted up to the 5 speed manual? Or is that unconcoured territory for you. I'm really intereted in this swap, i've had major carb. issues with the vaccum assisted piece of crap that was on the 2.8 in 1986.

I did the swap a 30K miles ago. I have had a few problems but the one that is now showing is the starter not engaging the fly wheel. I did not shim the starter after the swap, and it has worked quite well until now. Are there premade shims that will allow me to change the angle of the starter or is it a custom job?

I did the swap. with a comp cam and lifters edelbrock intake, Holley 4bbl 390cfm carb., the exhaust flows through a 2" pipe with a flowmaster. this is a long bed Comanche. I use to be at the end of the trail/duning excurersions but now I lead them. HUGE gains with the swap. nice torgue and it loves to rev =) upgrade the cooling system. I run an electric fan along with the mechanical
