I have a question in regards to the 2.8 motors. I unfortunately have one in my 86 xj that needs replaced (needs something different i know). My question is will a motor from a front wheel drive work in my xj? I do know that the main difference is that the starter is on the oppisite side of the block. Will/Can the housing be unbolted and swapped with the motor I have in the truck now and put on the front wheel drive motor. I dont remember from when I replaced the motor the last time. Any help with this is greatly welcomed. Oh yeah the reason I ask is the 2.8 FWD motor is the at the best price, FREE!!!
