Just a hypothetical question.
IF I had a 2001 XJ 4.0lL, Auto and a 1999 XJ 4.7L Stroker, Auto and wanted to swap the motors between the 2 vehicles what problems would I encounter with the changes in model years. I "think" that the underhood harness' would be the only difference between the 2 models. The '99 still uses a distributor and one CAT and long tube headers, where the '01 uses the distributorless ignition with coil packs and warm up cats on a two piece header.
Are the CPUs different OR could I simply swap the underhood harness from one vehicle to the other?
What else am I missing?
Just kicking around some ideas as my wife and I are planning to have kids soon, God willing, and would need a vehicle with more room than the MJ has but I would like to keep my Stroker if possible.
