engine transplant question....
Can anyone verify before I sell this 4.0.......
Will a 1995 Grand Cherokee 4.0 easily replace the 4.0 in a 2000 XJ.
I assume motor mounts will be different, and electronics...but is the long block still basically the same from 95 to 00?
Thanks!

They made a can profile change some where in the late 90s. Block and head should be the same as far as bolt patterns. Every thing else will need to be changed.

XJ Cherokee and ZJ Grand Cherokee 4.0L engine blocks interchange.
2000+ TJ Wrangler and WJ Grand Cherokee 4.0L engine blocks interchange.
XJ/ZJ blocks and 2000+ TJ/WJ blocks do not interchange without significant modifications. (1997-1999 4.0L TJ Wrangler blocks will interchange in XJ/ZJ and visa-versa).
TJ/WJ 4.0L Engine blocks underwent clean sheet design changes effective in the 1999 WJ Grand and 2000 TJ Wrangler. These blocks are not interchangeable with XJ/ZJ engine blocks. The reason is motor mount bolt holes and belt driven accessory mounting bolt holes are in different locations, or not present at all, TJ/WJ vs. XJ/ZJ.
