If the block needed all that work, why not swap in a 4.0? Looking good so far though

I am mid way through an ax-15 swap in my 2 door cherokee. Very easy so far, but I have an entire donor vehicle.

Here is a link to the engine swap thread - I need to add some more photos and info to it but could be useful to have more contributors!

Those were the isolators i put in those mount perches. They were diesel mount preches .. yup kinda interesting , but they used diesel mounts on xjs for gas engines in 2000 and possibly other years at least for the 2 dr
