you will need everything.... I mean everything .....and I think you would have to weld in new engine mounts so to put it short its a big job

Default Yeah

motor mounts are different? I have done a couple Cherokee 89 with 1996 guts but never Comanche......



maybe i should do that 4.7 Chevy vortex or just do the 350 swap if it’s all that I have a Cherokee with a 350 in it I think they used a 1988 v6 Cherokee body tho thanks for you help
