I have a 86 Cherokee Laredo, with a 2.8L 2bl carb, 5 speed standard transmission, 4x4. I need to swap out the motor. I have a good 2.8L EFI from a 87 Jimmy 4x4 with automatic(only 51K miles on it). I just want to swap motors, not the trans or transfer case. Will this be a direct bolt up and also what else would I need to do. Thanks in advance for your help.

the actual engine swap will be a direct swap. put your flywheel on the new motor and just drop it in. everything will swap out.
the injection is about as basic as can be. just look up a good wiring diagram for the year of the engine
