Question motor swap

Not sure where to start looking for existing threads on this so I will apologize up front. I have a 4.2 motor from a mid 80's wrangler. project died... Anyway I was looking to see if this motor would transplant into my 97XJ. It looks like the blocks are the same, plumbing is different I'm sure. trying to decide to get rid of the motor or keep it for a swap out.

Sell that 4.2 and buy a 4.0.

That will make selling the Wrangler Chassis a lot easier and faster then.
