does any one know if the whole inside of a 97+ xj will fit or even bolt up to a 86 xj? how about the guage cluster? will that hook up to the old style?
thanks -alfred

Well if you are going to the trouble of doing this, you might as well do the exact same thing that guy did. Go for the whole wiring harness, get a 4.0 engine, and get the dash. I have a 97+ center console and header panel/fenders on my 90 XJ and have thought about doing the dash but there are certain aspects of the newer dash I don't like as well. The tach will probably read reverse if you used the signal off the 86 2.5. The speedo is cable driven on your year and is electronic on 91-01 XJs so you'd have to put the newer engine brain for that anyway. If your 2.5 is fuel injected I guess you could get the computer from a 97+ 2.5 if you wanted to keep that engine. Like I said if you're set on doing it, do the whole thing. Your 86 should have the newer style engine bay because they were getting it ready for the 4.0, so it should set right in there.alfredsxj said:exactley. thank you fo rthe reply, do you know if the speedo and tac ect.will hook up to a 86 xj 2.5? thenks again
