header?
I just swapped a 2000 4.0 into a 1997 .problem is I cut the headers on the 2000 motor when taking it out. Can I use the 1997 ones? I know the exhaust ports are smaller but will it still work?

I know the 2000 and 2001 have the cast intake manifold, 4 o2 sensors and 2 cats IIRC. I have a 99 xj which has the 00-01 intake manifold but older style header.
Anyway if the 99,00,01 have the same head, then couldnt you use a header that fits a 99. Unless, are the heads completely different from 99 and older to 00-01?

What's the best way to get the bolts out? I heard that if you just cut all the heads out you can then get vice grips on them and get them out?
