Default Coil pac conversion?

2000 Cherokee, I-6 4.0L, AW-4

I just swaped an engine into my jeep (new to me engine is a I-6 4.0L maybe around "93"). Took out the distributer and added all the stuff from my old engine. I went to hock up my coil pac when I noticed the head of the new engine doesnt have the mounting holes for my coil pac.

Questions;
1. Is there a mod/write up to convert the plug wires from the new engine to be used with my coil pac?

2. Is there a way to mount my coil pac to the new engine so it doesnt move?

3. If those ideas dont work do I have to remove the head of the new engine and find one that will work with my coil pac.

I really dont want to have to get a new head for some mounting holes for my coil pac, so ideas are welcomed.

you can make a bracket coming off the valve cover to hold the original coil pack in place.
Or... you can take a ford 6 cyl remote coil pack and wire it in.... it can be mounted on the fender or somewhere. There used to be a write up floating around somewhere but i cant find it at this moment.
