YJ frame under a CJ

Sadly, I've found a pretty decent size crack and rot in the frame by the motor mount. One of the options I'm considering is getting a new frame, adding a lift and replacing the axles, then putting my tub engine and trans/transfer case on it. The question is, can I use a YJ frame to replace my '84 CJ frame? I have a 360 in it, but I think that's negligible.

I know the front YJ springs were wider. Would the lift springs for a YJ be wider/better than lift springs for a CJ?

Also, the YJ frame I'm looking at says it will not work with a 4cyl, just the 6cyl. Does anyone know what the difference is or were they really the same?

Thanks, as always,

-X
