Question What year engine Will just slide on in a 91 ?

I will be needing a 4.0 HO engine soon for my 91 XJ Limited Auto. I was wondering the best years to look for?

look for a motor out of a 91-95.... 96 is an iffy year becuase thats the middle year before they added the extra O2 sensors in the exhaust and such other sensors

I might have to end up doing that. 61,000 is pretty low miles, It will be worth the extra work If I can get it a good price.
