That would be a cool swap too. Might be a tight fit. Mine is just a toy so I will prob leave The motor stock.

It's just an updated one, has more power, same reliability, only 4.0 to be wary of would be '00+, then you have the crack prone 0331 head, although I've had 2 2000 XJ's and had no problems with that.

The HO came out when Chrysler redesigned the electrical and the head. 90- are the renix system which can be more troublesome to diagnose due to lack of scan tools for it
