I'm new to forums but I have a dumb question that no one knows the answer to but anyway I'm wondering what motors will fit somewhat easily into my 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 L Inline 6 any help would be greatly appreciated!

well a 4.0 from the same year will bolt right in. are you talking upgrade motors or rebuilt replacements? there are some people running v8 motors but it is not just a direct swap. lots of fab time goes into that process. you could run a stroked 4.6 I6 if you want more torque and hp. Sorry i am rambling it is just a very vague question.
