IM Not So Expert O, The 2.5 would be my choice for shoving in there if swapping the mounts and electronics are the only differences. It's supposed to be a really solid engine, if not as powerful as the 4.0.

Ever road in a jeep with a 2.5? It is extremely slow and you always have to keep your foot in it. The 2.5 I drove was mated to a 5 speed and there is no point in even having 5th gear. It does not even come close to a 4.0l. The 2.5 feels like it has half the power of a 4.0.
Besides, it's a Jeep, slow and expensive is what they are.
