Is it possible to replace a '96 2.5 (jeep motor) with a '94 mopar 2.5 with relative ease? The '94 motor comes with all electronics and the transmission. Has anyone done this swap, and are there compatibility issues with wiring , mounts etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

i think they are the same motor.
i read someware that crysler dumped there 4 cylinder for the jeep 2.5 in the early 90s, on there truck line. (dakotas)
if this is the case it should be a bolt on affair.
but you have not said what is it out of, and what it is going into.

 

Both unit's are Dakota Sport, looking to swap in the '94 motor trans and electronics (mopar) to the '96 body.

 

Has anyone ever tried to put a 4.7 in a Gen 1? I'm thinking about it because I feel like the poor little 3.9 is about to cash out.
