what does it take to put a 99 factory 4.0 in a 97? the 97 has a factory 4.0 in it that is blown up and im just trying to find out what the range is for a factory swap to put another 4.0 back in it. would a 99 be a direct bolt in or what all would have to be changed to put a 99's 4.0 in a 97?

You can use the long block for sure,I am pretty sure you can use the controls also,meaning intake exhaust,flexplate etc. I would look at the coneectors and make sure the are the same,electrical connectors. The 99 has a different head but it should not be an issue.

how about the computer plug ins would they be the same. could i use the 99 computer in place of the 97 computer and everything inside work properly? if i take the 99 motor, wiring, and computer and put them in the 97 will the wiring plug straight in and everything work like its suppose to?
