The engine (4.0) in my '00 XJ has been loud since I've owned it, but last week it suddenly went up to a whole new level. People turn to look when they hear me coming down the street. SO, bought an engine from a '98 grand that has about 50k fewer miles and runs.
I've started taking things apart on both and am starting to see some differences, some I expected, some I didn't. Is there anything tricky or terrible about this swap? Looks like I just take all the accessories, manifolds, mounts from my bad motor and swap them onto the "new" and fabricate a bracket for the coil pack.
The exhaust and intake openings on the head look to be a little different shape. Is that going to be a problem?
Thanks in advance. Steve in Colorado Springs
