Gen IV YJ To Get a Heart Transplant

The Gen IV YJ left Dixie 4 Wheel Drive to receive a new "heart," a new aluminum block GM 5.3 V8 with VVT and AFM.

Motech in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be installing the new mill, along with a GM 6L80 6-speed automatic transmission and Advance Adapters Atlas transfer case.

Once Motech works their magic, the YJ will return to Dixie 4 Wheel Drive for dialing in. As you can see, it's sitting too high right now. Hopefully, the new V8/transmission/T-case  will bring it down a bit, although the new drivetrain weighs considerably less than the original 258 six/AX15/231 did.
