Hello,
I have two '96s, one is a Rusty POS with a 4.0 and AW4. I just bought a clean roller for cheap, 2.5 and a 5 speed. You see where this is going.
I would just like some clarification and possibly some advice, it sounds like most things will be plug and play seeing as they both are the same years. The biggest challenge that I can see is swapping over the cooling package and swapping the transmission. From my understanding, I will have to move the motor mounts somewhat and I will have to swap the grill and a radiator support and some other things to get the cooling package and headlights to work properly. It also appears likely I will have to swap the hood or at the very least the hood latch assy. I will keep the 4.10 axles. (perfect for 31's or 33's).
Are there any upgrades/resealing/tune up items you recommend also?
