Sems like the 2.5 autos was 4.10 gears if I remember right.
Looks like everything you need to quadicize your XJ.
Why not just drop your engine in the 4x4 sled and be done with it?

the auto 4cyl could be 4.10, or a very rare 4.56 according to Google... the diff cover will tell you for sure.

as long as the ratio's match it wont matter which rear end you use.

I am no 80's expert but it should have everything you need to do the swap...
