Hi,
I have been researching the process the swapping out the 3.5 liter in my '98 Trooper that has gone bad, and replacing it with a chevy/GM engine.
I was given a link to a site that describes the compatibility of this engine swap.
I would love to hear from anyone who has done this, or may have some more info...
Thanks!!

You may want to check out this thread at the Outdoor Wire if you haven't seen it already (see also the links within the thread):

I don't think I've ever seen anyone doing engine swaps to a Gen II Trooper, although quite a few different powerplants have been mated up to Gen I Troops including GM HT 3.4, SBC V8, Caddy V8.

It sure would be interesting to see. You might have quite a challenge on your hands, what with OBD-II emissions controls and all. You'd probably want to stick with an OBD-II compliant GM powerplant, the 3800 comes to mind. Or one of the OHC V8's.
