Need to replace my engine
Without going into detail, I managed to put a hole in the side of my engine block, so looking my options which include just swapping the engine.
I have a 1987 Cherokee, 4.0L & manual transmission. I found a potential donor vehicle that has an automatic. Is there anything different between a 4.0L mounted to an automatic and manual transmission? I see lots of threads about swapping transmissions, but nothing about putting an engine that was mounted to an automatic into a vehicle that has a manual transmission.
Thanks for any insight you can give.

Bought the "organ donor" vehicle. I'll harvest the engine, exhaust, radiator, outside mirrors and maybe a few other odds and ends then sell off the carcass. The body is remarkably straight and paint in good condition. The automatic transmission also seemed in good condition on the drive home. If anyone is interested in it, it should be available in the next few weeks.
