As long as its a good motor its is a steel my last one cost me 250. The only things I would look out for is the sensors. They are diff in those years. So if ur new motor comes with the sensors and plugs for them u should be good. Or if ur old motor is in running shape u can use its sensors. That and don't throw out uf old fly wheel untill u know u can use the new one if it comes with one. My last used motor came off a different year xj and had a fly wheel on it. Lol had to take the motor back out to put the old one on the new motor. Not fun when u think ur about dune.
the only reason i have to swap motors is because i was replacing the rear main seal and the block right after the seal chipped off and now its leaking like a ****
