Wagoneer for the wife.

Been thinking about selling this. I haven't redone the interior yet or added the Vintage Air. Carpet would be inexpensive to change though.

New tires, suspension, 97 ZJ 5.2/44RE, all newer seals, everything in the dash works. No water leaks. Tinted, new Kenwood deck, H4 conversion, S10 steering box, WeatherTech mats.

Think I can get $4k or more for it?

Let me know if you're seriously considering...

I will. I'll probably put it here first so maybe an enthusiast can take it and finish the interior.

Sorry, missed your post!

Been running great. No codes from first fire. I was very surprised. Only thing that bothers me is the electric fuel pump I used has no check valve, and the WJ fuel filter is supposed to have one, but doesn't work worth a damn evidently. So I have long crank after it sits for a little bit.

Also wanted to update this. The fuel pump failed (Neihoff I've had for 10 years in a box). I installed an Airtex, and all of the long crank went away. Starts just as well as a 98 Jeep will. Very happy with it.


So much I'm using the WJ filter as a pressure regulator with a Chevy pump ina fuel cell for the 5.9 magnum in my Wrangler.

Here's a peak at that project.

bringing this back up for a question...do you have a pin out diagram for the 5.2/5.9?
You did an amazing job, looks GREAT!

This may get you started:



I downloaded the entire manual from jeepslimited.com for my donor (95 ZJ)

iirc Its mostly a 4 wire hookup if you keep the fuse/relay box from the donor (I'll look at my notes next time i'm in the garage...if I remember.)

1. hot from battery (big cable)
2. hot-start
3. hot-start+run
4. hot-run(/acc?)

Wire colors vary from year to year. Looking at the ignition switch in the wiring diagram will tell you which is which.

Gauges will also have to be wired in.

THANK YOU!

Wife has been driving this for over a year. Gets about 14 mpg. Still haven't done the interior. We are getting her an Expedition this weekend, so it'll be my driver for a little until I probably sell it.

Not sure if I'm going to do the carpet and seats before I sell it. Probably will, I'll get an okay return if I do I think.

I used it for a mountain bike trip today.

I realize this thread is very old, but I got a 81 Wagoneer and would like to swap in a 5.9 Dodge Magnum engine. Unfortunately, all the pictures are gone. Can they be reposted??

Unfortunately the user that created this thread has not logged in since 2016. So sadly its unlikely the photos will be made available again Its one of the downsides of hosting the photos on the a third party site.
