I’ve been searching forums everywhere for this info. Perfectly done on explanations, thank you. About to do 2.5 to 4.0 swap at the end of this month and this is what I’ve been trying to figure out. Thanks again

How did your swap go? 97 TJ I got new in 97. Upgrades to engine - 2003 4.0 Bored .30 High Compression Pistons Decked Block Shaved Head Port & Polished head All new Valves, Springs etc plus Valve Job done CompCam 4x4 Extreme Cam Balanced and cleaned up Crank MSD Coil Rail Optima Battery Etc... Plus bigger KM3 tires and already had a 4" Suspension lift along with 3/4 spacers for bumper conp.

I'm almost to the point of needing my mounts put on for a 2.5 - 4.0 swap. I've searched all over for this info also with little luck so this definitely helps me out. Nice job and thank you very much for putting it out there. Greatly appreciated.

Glad I could help.. 👍

Hey, Had a bit of a question hopefully you see this. I've ran into an issue using these mounts, the M.O.R.E Offroad measurements for the driver side is 31 5/8's. but if you look at the directions you'll notice they have a bracket bolted to the front of the frame rale, extending their measurement by what I have found to be about 1/4". I have a reference 2004 4.0 frame, and i took the measurement, and the frame mount measure 31 7/8"s from the front of the actual frame. So I believe MORE off roads measurement is false by about 1/4". I have used their measurements, got the mounts welded in and found that the transmission mount studs, sit about 5/16"S in front of the holes they are supposed to. Indicating again, that the MORE offroad measurement is flawed. My frame is like yours, completely bare, with nothing bolted to the front, but you can see in their #1 picture, they have a bracket bolted onto the front and I believe this to be an error causing issues. I am wondering what your input on this situation is and if you had a similar experience.

I welded my monts to their numbers.. Unfortunately I had to cut off the drivers side mount and move it a bit.. So I would agree that there is something going on with thier measurements.. When It happened I just fixed it thinking somehow I was off a bit.. I never looked in to it.. So what your saying makes sense..
