I am a newbie on this forum, and although I have owned my stock '03 Rubicon since 2007, I am a total virgin when it comes to messing with it.
I do mostly city driving and find the 4.0 to be sluggish and a gas hog (10 mpg). I would like to move up a step to a V6 or small V8. I've gone online and read about various engine swaps but would like the opinion of the people here.
i would like to keep the same transmission (manual, 5 speed), xfer case and drive shaft, but maybe do away with the 4.10 rear end. i would prefer a swap where a kit exists for all necessary adapters (engine mounts and so forth). i don''t care about off road ability as that's not something I do.
i would appreciate any suggestions regarding suitable engines, drive trains and kits, online sources or any other information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Peter
