Well despite the claim contrary by the seller, the motor I recently bought is a ZJ 4.0 from a 1999. I guess I learned something about the markings on the motor. It was sold to me as a complete XJ motor.
Most of what I have read searching here and elsewhere on the internet indicates that the solution is to switch all the component parts from the XJ motor (waterpump, exhaust/intake manifold, engine mounts, etc) on to the ZJ block. It seems however that 1999 was a year of transition for the ZJ but not the XJ. Do I have that right? Are these blocks compatible?
Is there anything else I need to be concerned with on this ZJ block? Trying to decide if I need to return the motor? It came with a 30 day return policy which I still have. Though the parts are now stripped off.
Any idea or suggestions would be appreciated.
