I've seen one in a 87 XJ. It was cut at the dash to fit. It could be done. It was in a parts Jeep I got parts off if from CL but the Guy wanted it for his XJ so I couldn't buy it.

I found out thanks to my local Napa auto Parts Store, That the rear soft brake hose from a 78-79 bronco is pretty much a bolt on to the 89 and equivalent Cherokee, with the Chrysler 8.25, and is about 3 inches longer. Just another option.

Fwiw, the 2.5L Dakota alternator was NOT a direct bolt on for my XJ, I had to grind the alternator bracket to get it on. Not sure if something is different on mine or not, just throwing that out there.

Those who are looking to get power everything with the ability to have a fob for keyless entry ... And don't plan to submarine their rig its a good swap... Depending on the age of your rig it also switches to newer intake and ability to go true HO.

I agree it is a massive undertaking but if your restoring your rig I see lots of benefits...
