iv'e got a 4 cyl 86 jeep comanche and I'm wondering if a Cherokee engine will bolt in or do i need new mounts? would like to upgrade to 6 cyl. thanks if you could help.:)

Hey everyone, Got a strange issue that i haven't dealt with. I just got a new started put into the 86 and now it seems to sound a lot higher when when it revs up when it starts. It runs fine but then in idle it will start to get slower after awhile and then stalls out when it is just sitting. When I was driving it back from the mountains last night, it would start "skipping" around 55 but still work through it. I then was driving to work and when I had to break in a to come to a stop while slowly moving through traffic, it just stalled. It restarted without and issue but then hiccupped a bit more as I drove it. I just put another quart of oil in it last night, there is no overheating (even though the engine is running really hot and smokes a bit but I think it is just barley leaking oil) and it runs fine above 55 and below it accept when breaking a ton. Any ideas what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Has anyone else had this happen with their inline 4 ? Thanks, Sam
