As the title says, the time has come for a new engine in my 2000. I'm looking for a 4.0 and want to do the easiest possible swap. My question is what are my options as far as what years and models(tj or wj?) will be a direct swap and what parts from my current 4.0(computer, ecm, wiring harness) will be able to be reused?
thanks in advance :attom:
 
You can use any 4.0 from any XJ, YJ, or 1997-1999 TJ or any 4.2 from a CJ or YJ (you can put a 4.0 head on a 4.2). (FYI - 2000 and later Wrangler 4.0L were produced with GenII 4.0L ... significant differences in the block, etc.)
