I want to put a V8 in my 95 wrangler. I’m looking for resources. Considering doing it myself but I wont rule anything out at this point.

i had an '89 that had an LT1 from a Corvette in it. the guy i bought it from did it. used an adapter plate to mount the AX-15 transmission. i assume he had to weld new engine mounts.
i have no other input other than that.

Wranglerforum, wranglertjforum and longhorn84 (youtube). That's mainly for TJs but YJs aren't too dissimilar for swaps.
I was planning a LS and 4l60e from a 2000 silverado but doing a different swap in my jeep now

If you're in Baton Rouge or nearby there is a gentleman that lives on Elliot Road that has done several Jeep V8 conversions. He has a small mechanic shop at his house.

There's plenty of Jeep Forums and thousands that have documented these swaps. I build Jeeps, here's your options:
Mopar 360 Magnum mated to your stock trans - sensors and electronics are easy to make work because it's like for like.
SBC with adapter to Jeep trans or a GM trans. Run Carb or Holley Sniper. Easy as can be!
5.3 LS with 4L60E : modify wiring harness to run PCM and TCM
all require engine mounts and/or trans adapters which Advance Adapters makes them all. If not using the Jeep trans, then you'll likely need a custom driveshaft for the trans. Gauges are easy to do with after market and EFI and TCM are easy from the aftermarket these days.
Jeeps are simple with tons of room to work. If you can weld and turn wrenches, you can pull this off with some long weekends a couple buddies

I've got a 93 that I've been wanting to do an LS swap in as well.
