Diesel in a Grand Cherokee

Reader Question: I have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee.I am interested in putting a 1984 mercedes diesle engine in it. I own a shop and have both vehicles. Need any tech info you can give me. Francisco

Answer: I often receive requests from readers wanted to do strange and unusual engine swaps. Usually the individual has stuff laying around and would like to use it. From experience I can say that unusual swaps ALWAYS turn into money pits. Having a free engine that is not a Chevy, Ford, or original factory Jeep engine will cost way more to get installed, adapted, and running correctly. My advice, leave the Grand as it is.
