I have a cut in half 93 XJ with a great motor and a 93 ZJ in great condition other than a shot motor and computer. They are both 4Liters with man trans and the same options. Can I swap the motor into the ZJ?

I dont think ZJ's came with sticks. I could be wrong though. You say they are both manuals? You can use the 4.0 from the XJ, just use the ZJ computer system and stuff. Good luck.

Yes the motor will swap right in, and the ZJ trans will bolt up to the XJ motor.

93 ZJ used AW4 transmission behind the 4.0 also.

After that it went all down hill (ChryCo auto transmissions)

^ Were 93's exclusively AW4 Autos, or were some of them Chryco boxes too?

i have a 94 ZJ 4.0L in my my 95 XJ. i think i swapped out the temp sensor for the gauge, and the oil pressure sending unit (just cuz mine were newer, but i think they are the same). other than that everything is the same.

What i've read is that it started with the AW4 and at some point in late 93 or early 94 they got ChryCo transmissions exclusively.
