Xj problem
I have a 2000 xj, I'm putting a motor out of a 96 xj in it. I know the 2000 had coil packs and the 96 had distributor, what do I need to do in this situation??

It's going to take a bit more wiring and swap out than you might think.
It might be easier to try to convert the 96 to coil pack completely.

Yes use all the wiring and computer from the 2000, don't try to mix and match the harnesses or you'll end up with a nightmare. The biggest problem would be finding a way to mount the coil rail on the 96 head.
