MJ engine Swap

[Nelson]

Hello I am looking for some help on and engine swap for my MJ. I have a 88 comanche with a 2.5l. I got a really good deal on a 4.0 motor + trans, transfer case, and computer from a 2000 XJ. my plan is to find a donor 2000 XJ for the dash, front clip and wiring. Basically make it a 2000 XJ with a comanch body. I want to know if my plan would work or not? any suggestions?

2000? make sure you don't get the 0331 head, or at least get one that already has changed it for a TUPY one

Yeah do searches for 97+ swaps.  There are plenty of threads here (mine in my sig) and most of us who have done it will be willing to answer specific questions for you.  It's a pretty straightforward swap with little fabrication.

 

As stated, check that head.
