Default 4cyl swap to inline 6cyl

i got a 4cyl dakota and im thinking about replacing it with the 4.0l engine that come in jeeps. the 2.5l engine thats in my dakota is exactlly the same as a 4.0l just two cyl shorter. i got the motor and trans already with the computer for the injectors. i measured everything up and it will fit without a problem. makin the motor mounts wont be a problem, puting the motor in is'nt a problem and all the connectors on the t/b are the same on both motors. the only problem im seeing now is how can make it where it doesnt throw any codes so i can pass inspection? if anybody could help that would be great.

thanks

good luck with the code issue,
you're gonna have to get the ECM re-flashed with the VIN# off your body computer

you will likely have issues with the length in regards to teh radiator/fan
you may have to install a push fan on the front of the radiator
