98 ZJ motor into 92 XJ questions
Hey yall, got a couple questions.
I've done a bunch of research and I think this will work fine, but just wanted to make sure for my specific situation.
I have a 92 xj with the 4.0 HO that has been having a lot of issues. Yesterday, I found a guy with a 98 ZJ that he rolled over. It literally rolled onto the roof and back onto the tires, no front end damage or anything like that. The motor in his ZJ is a 4.0 that was remanufactured by Jeep and has 79,xxx miles on it, and runs PERFECTLY.
If I decide to do the swap, what will I have to do to make this work?
i.e. will motor mounts line up?
Can I just use all the accessories from the ZJ?
Will it line up with the AW-4 in my XJ?
Basically, I'm just trying to figure out what will all be involved. I have access to a shop and have all the tools and help I will need, just trying to figure the out the rest ahead of time.
Thanks!
