well lets see: change ecu and wiring harness
change motor mounts
change radiator supports and change to 4.0 radiator
get bellhousing adapter or change transmissions
that short list is the big stuff. a few small things also
easier to sell the 97 and buy one with a 4.0l. been there done that
No I have a 95 Jeep Wrangler and a 78 ford F150 and the rims will not swap.
There is no other direct swap.
No, they should be very different
or what will make the 1990 jeep wrangler 4.2 and 4.0 engine swap out
Short answer is no. Long answer is that any swap is theoretically possible, with some serious, major, modifications, lots of skill, and lots of money. And even then this swap may be almost impossible.Short answer is no. Long answer is that any swap is theoretically possible, with some serious, major, modifications, lots of skill, and lots of money.

yes, swap your grille with a tj/cj grill with the hood.
this depends upon your abilities and knowledge. with the right tools and lots of knowledge you can put any engine in the jeep. you may have to do some major modifications depending upon the engine. the big question is, is it worth the time and money.
To do this swap you will need to swap out the engine, transmission and transfer case as a unit. And there is a host of other things to change including the motor mounts, wiring, etc. This is not an easy swap by any means. You would be wise to sell the 2.5 Wrangler and get one with a 4.0.
You will need a different trans, engine, radiator, wiring harness, computer, etc..
Not possible without major modifications and a lot of money.
You need to provide more info on the size and manufacturer of the v8 you wish to swap, also trans selection, 4wd or not?
Not without major modifications.
