Yes everything will match up just fine. There is no difference 4x4 or 4x2 when it comes to the engine.

Whatever is wrong with your current motor could be fixable. There are a few things, like the plenum, that have to be replaced eventually and depending on how bad it is can you make engine run like total crap. Clogged catalytic converter's have an impact on performance too.

What's wrong with it?

Do these easily swap from auto to manual as well? The old mopar v8's didn't, and I've been curious about this...
