Default looking to replace eninge in a '96 what problems if?

I have a '92 Cherokee with a poor body and good motor. I have a chance to pick up a '96 will the motor bolt right up?
If the '96 has FI will the manifold bolt right up?
Would I be better off in putting the '92 tranny in the 96?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer,,,,,

Whats the condition of the 96 body? If clean thats your easiest option... assuming the 96 just needs a transmission.

The 96 motor will bolt in, but it's OBDII so you'll have to swap on all the 92's sensors etc to be compatible.

The '96 needs a motor and does not have the transmission in it.
So if I put all the censors off the '96 onto the '92 motor it would bolt right up?

Pretty much a plug and play after the sensors are changed. IIRC you may need to swap distributors as well.
