I understand the high output is the same with exception of cam head throttle body. Should in plop those in my old engine or get a full engine. I understand HO got rid of some sensors

But all holes should be in the unibody for the engine, tranny, and tranafer case if my new body is 2wd. If I have all parts everything should swap minus the drive shafts? All the way from radiator to column shifter? Just mirror from one truck to the other basically. Idont want to dump a couple hundred finding a four banger comanche(bad engine of course) and realize id be doing unibody drilling. Anybody have a link to a build thread of this? can't find another reasonably priced straight six auto 4x4 to save my life. Can throw a dead cat and hit a 4 banger

my 88 jeep comanche, straight six, auto, 4wd, LONG BED 87 i may buy, 4cyl, manual, 4wd SHORTBED questions 1. I'm fairly sure straight six will bolt right up, yes? 2. auto should bolt right up, yes? 3. auto will bolt up to transfer case in the 87, no replacement, keep same driveshafts. I want to make absolutely sure ive covered my butt and this will be a mostly painless swap. my 88's body is TORE Up so i just want to put the guts in an 87. please point out where i am wrong. sorry if this is a DUH moment.

I bought an 88 long bed back in August or so for 800 bucks, runs like a dream, had a wobble due to wheel bearing. A real steal if you ask me. guy didn't know what he was selling i guess. But it is a long bed, and as a rock crawler this presents a potential problem. the butt of that thing sticks out for miles past the rear wheels, i sense some hard drops in my future, possibly doing real damage to the bed. I've considered 3 options: 1. Suck it up, hey maybe it won't be that bad? 2. Trade for a short bed, but then i lose the wheelbase, but my cherokee does fine. (this is my preference) 3. my buddy said make a big plate under there connecting from the rear bumper to somewhere under the bed before the rear axle. leaving some room for a compressor and tank for air tools? nothing huge but enough to save my butt on the trail. I havn't even began to look under the truck to see if it would work cause i have a feeling it wouldn't. Any suggestions? i understand it's gonna get dinged up, but i don't need my bed bent cause i came off a rock too hard.
