Default Swapping parts from a 97 to a 96

I googled to see if i could swap parts from my 1997 XJ to my 1996 and from what i found i can as long as its not cosmetic. I just wanna make sure because the atl in the 96 is going and id like to switch them out until i can afford something stronger.

Also is there anything i cant switch?

Thanks in advance

wtf.

if you have old style hinges on the 97, you can swap doors. all the body panels fit with or without some mods. the whole interior will swap. pretty much everything swaps over.

what do you want to do? wtf is an atl?

ALT = alternator???

I do believe everything except the dash can be swapped over. The center console will take some minor engineering; but it's doable.

I want to move over the newer part to my 96 since it will be
My DD, I'd like to make my 97 a trail rig. Just trying to figure out what I can
Move to the DD so I'm not buying the something twice.

For the dash to fit you gotta cut the firewall and stuff, something with the a/c unit not being the same
