Fantastic video, B-Man! It's so weird you had to swap all the steering just for your engine. Jeep things, I guess. 😂

Wonder why other videos make it seem so hard or time consuming to move the parts to make it work in a jeep

Did u ever dig into to old 300k mile engine to determine if the timing chain was the issue?

Unfortunately I did not. I turned it in as a core. I suspected that the chain and possibly #5 cylinder were going bad, as #5 had lower compression than the other cylinders.

Major job done really well. Thanks for the video. Did you have to do anything to the computer to recognize the engine?

Thank you sir! No reprogramming was necessary. Everything was recognized as oem.

hello, I read some youtubers changed head gaskets, did you have to do this?

@@adamphipps8586 I did change the head gaskets prior to the engine swap. The engine was more damaged internally, ie cam and rings, so the head gaskets didn’t solve the problem.

Good stuff. Seems like such a scam that you can buy a NEW T&C 3.8 for 1K less than a factory reman Jeep 3.8.

Wonder if anyone can confirm if this will work for a 2007 3.8 as well?

The 2007 minivan block is the same but will require more light machine work to fit. I'm currently putting an '07 Caravan 3.8 into my 2007 Wrangler. From what I've noted so far, I will have to drill and tap four motor mount holes (bosses are cast in place), drill oil dipstick tube hole (the earlier vans use a cast boss more forward, both bosses are on the block), move the items already noted. What wasn't mentioned is that after installing upper oil pan mount, you need to check for clearance of the connecting rod/crankshaft to upper pan. With the earlier style forged rods used in the vans, you can get some minor interference that is easily taken care of with a dremel.

Right! Was an old postal jeep out in southern Illinois, where the houses are miles in between. Definitely lasted a lot longer than I thought it would.
