Edit: Will it work? Yes - especially if it's the 4.0. Is it legal? NO. In California, the law prohibits installing an older motor than the year of the project car. I.E. you can install a 1993 motor in a 1984 vehicle BUT you CAN'T install a 1995 motor in a 1987 vehicle. It may be legal in other states so check with your local DMV to make sure BEFORE you drop the cash on that swap.
The engine holds six quarts.
The Jeep Comanche came out in 1987 with a AMC 4.0L in line 6 cylinder engine. This engine is a perfect fit for the 1986 Comanche. My 1986 4x4 was originally shipped with a Renault Diesel engine. The engine was pulled and replaced with the 1987 AMC 4.0L in line 6 which is still running at 260 000KM. These engines can be picked up for anything from $200 - $2000. But why not sell your Comanche and buy a 4.0L in line 6 with 4x4.
Jeep did not make Wrangler for model year 1996. ... Exactly! I thought this was a trick question. The Jeep Wrangler (YJ) was made from 1987 through 1995. In 1996, Jeep gave the the Wrangler a complete overhaul and in 1997 the Wrangler was re-released as the TJ and now known as the JK. I guess the powers at Jeep listened to the people when they said how much they hated the SQUARE headlights! By the way, what does JK stand for? Just Kidding?
