Transmission Swap Questions

Hey guys, So I have a 94 XJ with the 4L auto combo and a buddy of mine just picked up a 86 XJ with the V6 and 5spd standard for a parts jeep. What I am wondering is Can I swap that trans into my jeep without changing out the bell housing on the trans and just transfer everything else over thats needed from the swap? Or am I better off finding a trans out of a jeep with 4L?

Only reason im wanting to swap transmissions is mine started to puke ATF out the last time I drove the jeep and where I live I cannot find another AW4 to replace it to save my life....

Any and ALL help is VERY appreciated.
 
Trans is most likely an AX-5, and different bellhousing.
 
Yea that would be the 60deg v6 pattern on that bell housing. That transmission would not hold up to the 4.0 either.
