Chevy V6 power, an automatic overdrive transmission, documented custom work, and long-term Oregon registration make this 1989 Jeep Wrangler S a very different kind of YJ. Located in Corvallis, Oregon and offered by a private seller with a clean title, it shows 108,161 miles and is powered by a rebuilt 1991 Chevrolet 3.4L V6 with throttle-body dual injection, an Edelbrock intake, tubular exhaust, upgraded cooling, and Painless Wiring. The build also includes a rebuilt TH700R4 automatic overdrive transmission, converted transfer case, CV rear driveshaft, four-wheel disc brakes, Rancho remote-adjustable shocks, SuperLift springs and shackles, 31-inch Firestone Destination tires, a custom 25-gallon steel fuel tank, trailer-brake hardware, and extensive supporting documentation.
- Chevrolet 3.4L V6 Swap: The original Wrangler S equipment was built around Jeep’s 2.5L four-cylinder and 5-speed manual transmission, while this Jeep now runs a rebuilt 1991 Chevrolet 3.4L V6 with throttle-body dual injection. Supporting hardware includes an Edelbrock performance package, Edelbrock intake, tubular exhaust, high-flow water pump, high-volume oil pump, high-capacity aluminum radiator, upgraded alternator, Painless Wiring, and VDO gauges.
- Automatic Overdrive Drivetrain: The swap is paired with a rebuilt TH700R4 automatic overdrive transmission and a Lokar-style shifter designed to resemble a Wrangler manual shifter. The seller also notes a converted CV rear driveshaft and transfer-case conversion by Currie Enterprises, giving the Jeep a more custom drivetrain setup than a stock YJ.
- Suspension, Brakes, and 31s: The suspension uses Rancho remote-adjustable R9000 shocks with dash controls, SuperLift 3.5-inch lift springs, 2.5-inch lift shackles, and SuperLift polyurethane bushings. It rides on 15-inch aluminum wheels with new Firestone Destination 31x10.50 tires, while braking has been upgraded to four-wheel stainless-steel disc brakes.
- Custom Trail and Utility Details: The build includes a custom 25-gallon steel fuel tank with skid pan, transmission cooler, remote engine and transmission oil filters, 2-inch receiver, custom bumper, electric trailer brakes, and a Hayes electronic brake controller. Those details give the Jeep more range, cooling, service access, and utility than a simple engine-swap project.
- Oregon History and Documentation: CARFAX shows Oregon registration records in Corvallis from 2007 through 2025, with no reported accidents or damage, no total loss, no structural damage, no odometer rollback indication, no title brands, and no recalls reported. The seller also notes extensive documentation, including receipts, diagrams, automotive manuals, and shop manuals.
About the Jeep Wrangler YJ
The YJ-generation Wrangler replaced the CJ and brought the Wrangler nameplate into Jeep’s modern era while keeping the basics that mattered: body-on-frame construction, compact dimensions, removable doors, open-air capability, and a highly-capable 4WD system. The square headlights still define the generation visually, and the simple platform remains popular because it is easy to modify, easy to understand, and well supported by the aftermarket.
The Wrangler S was a basic, lightweight starting point, which makes this example more about the custom build than factory originality. The Chevrolet V6, automatic overdrive transmission, suspension work, disc-brake conversion, custom fuel tank, and supporting documentation are the main appeal.
