What Diesel Engine Would Fit in a Wrangler?
If you’re planning to buy a Jeep Wrangler, you may be interested to figure out the answer for the query- what diesel engine would fit in a Wrangler? Well, the good news is that you can find a diesel engine easily, but the bad part is that you won’t find a diesel engine that fits without “mount mods”, period.
Modifications Required
Some of the engines may work with mods, and you can even fancy getting a tiny four-cylinder, 3L, Cummins engine in a Wrangler but you should be ready for the consequences too. First of all, it may require extensive modifications, and even after spending money on all that, you can’t expect very high horsepower levels either. The torque levels, as well as fuel economy aren’t going to be something to cheer about either.
Under such circumstances, you may be looking at removing, re-fabricating, modifying, or completely replacing your cooling system, mounting system, exhaust system, transmission, fuel pump, fuel tank, electrical controls, fuel lines, drive-shafts, and even the clutch system.
Trying a New V8
On the other hand, trying the new, fuel-efficient, V8 and a low geared Tranny, SM420 or SM465 may not only make your life easier, but also can produce better fuel economy, horsepower and torque levels that make diesels desirable. So, now that you know what diesel engine would fit in a Wrangler, go and try it out.
