What year Jeep 4.0L is compatible in a 1993 Jeep Cherokee?

[spistols]

I have a 1993 Jeep Cherokee with a 2.5L / 5 speed. I would like to start looking around for a wrecked Jeep that has a 4.0L motor.

With the emissions and what not on the newer engines (my county is emissions controlled for at least another 2 years on this Jeep), what Jeep can I pull a motor out of and put into mine with the least amount of modifications, if any?

Thanks for any info.

Back when I worked at an auto salvage up in Bonaire we tried to use a 4.0 out of a Grand Cherokee going back into a regular Cherokee. I know THAT won't work. The accessories bolted on different. You can find engines on Car-Part.com . it will show the different years that will work. It will also show mileai,condition distance from you and price. Nearly all the real salvage yards are on there.

A whole lot easer to just sell yours and buy one with the engine you want

When the emission test place plugs your VIN into the computer and it's no longer the engine that the factory installed it's not gonna pass the test

A Cherokee of that vintage is almost free anyway

This is not 100% true. He could call it a "hot rod"

According to their website
His vehicle is not eligible for that status
