Working on a 2005 3.7 liberty engine is knocking bad and overheating with water in oil. A place in town has alot of differnt options for engines the best one im looking it is out of a 2006 Was wondering what i would have to swap over to the new engine been reading that they made alot of changes over the years but wouldn't mind swaping some stuff over but dont want to have to dig into the new engine much but if it is just some sensors thats okay. Before this jeep messed up there were no codes so all the sensors should be good.

They changed the reluctor ring on the crank and tone ring on the cam after 04, but you wouldn't have to worry about that as 05 and 06 share the same. All sensors are a direct swap if and where needed as well as intake and exhaust manifolds. Is it out of another Liberty?

If it's out of another Liberty then everything will just swap over. If the 3.7 is out of another Chrysler product you'll need to swap the oil pan, intake and exhaust manifolds, possibly the oil filler neck.

Thanks guys they ended up not having that engine anymore they had a 3.7 out of a 08 liberty and one out of a 05 grand cherokee. i took the one out of the cherokee because it was basicly the same the newer motor had egr that needed blocked off and the engine had alot of oil on it. Just got all done today new engine runs great. pretty straight forward swap started up on first try.
