Hello all,
I recently purchased a 97 Cherokee (4.0) with, what I believe is a bad head (guy overheated it). The engine has about 130k on it as it sits. I have found a 4.0 out of a 2000 TJ for a fair price. My question is will the 200 engine retrofit into the 97? I understand the 4.0 part is the same, but I thought they went to a new ignition system in 00. Can I just put my 97 ignition on the 00 block or do I need to retrofit all of the 00 computer stuff (which is more hassle than I want).
Any other problems I am missing?
Thx
John
Here is the $700.00 wonder
