I went to the junkyard today and picked up a hitch. Before I left I asked if they had any I-6 engines around. The guy tells me there is a 2001 engine with 46,000 miles on it. (I looked through the valve cover and it looked really clean. ) This guy then tells me that all I have to do is switch my intake and I'll be good to go. My XJ is a 1993. WILL THIS DOG HUNT? By the way he wants $700.00 for it! Are the Gods of XJ present?

Make sure ya line up thetiming...and you should be good to go.
MAYBE...the only thing I can think of is the pilot bearing, but I doubt it.

Check the distributor! I think they made some changes in the late models. I read that somewhere!

Unlike your 1993, the 2001 4.0 lacks a distributor - using, instead, Coil On Plug (COP) ignition.
You can probably mount a distributor to the engine (I believe it's the same casting as the earlier OBD-II blocks, so it's got to have some sort of fuel pump drive) and retrofit it - I'd probably use your 1993 distributor so I'd not have to worry about anything. CHECK.
Removing the COP ignition will result in some bolt holes on the head that aren't being used, but I'm fairly sure they're blind, and don't NEED to be plugged (although I'd put short bolts in them just for the sake of a "finished" look.)
That's the biggest block I can think of - everything else should just bolt right over. I'd be highly inclined to use the 1993 head on the 2001 block - but again, that's just me (if I were closer, I'd ask you for the head for my own uses. Probably dissection for research, or porting experiments...)

as a long block...why does this come into play ?
I'm sure you have something up your sleeve, I'm just not sure what...

Same place it is on the 2001 - as I recall, it was deleted in 1991.
However, the casting didn't change much - there's probably a boss in the same location as on the RENIX that can be drilled and tapped to take a knock sensor...
