The run down. Bought my 89 jeep cherokee last year. The body on it is pretty messed up. The pillar around the winsheild on the pass. side is pushed in so a new windsheild is out. So yesterday ran across a 85 XJ with a bad motor. But the thing has one dent in it. The body is almost perfect. So I picked it up.

I plan on swaping everything from the 89 to the 85 interior, motor, suspension. So now the questions

Suspension

Will my lift tranfer over? Axles and all are the same? All match up?

Motor

Since I am going from a 2.8 v6 to the 4.0 inline will the motor mounts match?

Any thing to look out for?

All help is welcomed.

Thanks guys

Match up both motor mounts. I am no expert but as long as you transfer EVERYTHING to the 85 i think you should be good to go.

Just gut the 85 completely under the hood and replace everything with the 89 stuff. The axles and everything should bolt right on with little fuss. That 2.8 you pull out will make a great door stop.

Well thats what I was hoping to hear.
