Scored an XJ for free but it is in need of a motor, not wanting to sacrifice the engine from my current project, although it won't be ready for sometime I wanted something to wheel for now. Before I head out to the local yards I was offered a running 80,000 mile 4.2L from a 1990 YJ for free and was curious to see if anyone knew just how much work it would be to drop it in the old XJ.
Of course I would be fuel injecting it but due to the fact that I have a complete 4.0 at my hands and that it is from the same engine family I figure it can be pretty easily done. Or is this more work than i anticipate?
I'm sure someone has done this before and since I haven't, any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance
Some specs that may be needed - 93 2dr XJ, 4.0L/AW4/NP231, D30/8.25
