Not without a lot of work. I've been told that the engine bay had to be redesigned in 87 to fit around the 4.0L.sbxoxj said:

It won't fit without alot of massaging man. I hate to be the breaker for ya. I have an 86 and it is interesting trying to find more power out of it, but I have gotten better. I can pass a few cars on the freeway and it goes up most hills. If you want, I will send you some info, but the only motor that will fit in there without too much work is a 2.8l chevy v-6. I know how to push those to about 225 horses, but you have to know a good machine shop.

I put a 4.oL (actually a 4.7L stoker) in my 85. It is a bit of work. Besides the fact that the tranny is not the same and the wiring and computer are totally different, you end up doing a touch of sheetmetal work and swapping a few parts.
Never say I always chose the easy path. :shhh:
