My 98 XJ has a great engine and transmission but the bodywork has dings in almost every panel. I've been offered a really nice 97 Grand Cherokee with a dead engine.
Question - can I fit the XJ engine straight into the 97 Grand Cherokee ?
Thanks.

 

Yes

 

Yes just swap the accesory drive, motor mounts but everything else should work.

 

Great !
Thanks for the info.
Next question - what is the approximate weight of the 4.0 engine ?
Need to check my engine lifter is strong enough.

 

360# IIRC

 

Is that 360 pounds ?

Doesn't sound like a lot - I think the 2.8 V6 Cologne in my other car weighs more than that.

 

I think it is a little closer to 500 pounds.

 

515lbs. i just pulled one and it weighs every bit of that

 

Oops.... I was just looking at the 2.5L so I had that on the brain, thanks for catching my mistake.
