I HAVE A 89 CHEROKEE 4.0L AND NEED TO INSTALL ANOTHER ENGINE. I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF I COULD PUT A 95 4.0L LONG BLOCK IN IF I USE ALL MY ORIGINAL BRACKETS AND MANIFOLD FROM MY 89 BLOCK.[addsig]

the biggest problem i see is that the 89 is the I6 4.0 242CU motor, and the 95 will be a I6 4.0 242 HIGH OUTPUT motor, which will give you about 15 extra HP and even more torque. It would make sense that the exhaust manifold would still work, as a common mod is to add a high output cylinder head to a non high output motor... and engine mounts would most likely be the same too... i wouldn't see why they would change. wiring might be a different story, as you will likely need the harness and computer that goes with the HO motor.[addsig]
