Default Engine Swap Question...

Ok, so the 4.0 in my jeep is basically shot. I do have a 5.0 High Output though and I've been thinking of a possible swap. Does anybody at all know if this is even possible without major firewall modification? And is there any possibility of being able to use my same tranny and transfer case? If this is stupid, keep in mind I'm just wondering if it's even possible.


Thanks

Yes. It came out of a 91 T-bird.

Anything is possible if you want to do it,but you would have to completley rewire your jeep with ecu from the same t-bird or one that is compatible from that year,I am 99% sure your trany will not work,the last 1% is because I have never herad of it.
Unless you have alot of time and money,it is not a good idea.
