I have a '93 ZJ w/ a dead tranny. Will an AW4 (assuming that's what the '89 XJ w/ the 4.0L has) bolt up to the 318 and function? I know some ZJ's came w/ an AW4, but they were all 4.0's.
Does the '89 XJ tranny even have OD?

And if that won't work, the 4.0L AND the AW4 should slide in and bolt right up into the ZJ, correct???
(Don't care about replacing the 318 w/ the 4.0L...just trying to get the vehicle running to sell it.)

You are willing to do all this work instead of fixing the dead tranny?
I would fix the tranny. Just bolting the 4.0 in is not as easy as you seem to think. I am sorry, I cannot advise on the adaptability.

In a word, no.
The AW4 bolts up to AMC blocks, either 6 or 8 cyl. Chrysler is a different bolt pattern.

remanned ZJ auto tranny costs way more than the entire XJ is worth. I was thinking since ZJ's came w/ the 4.0 as well as the 5.2 that a 4.0L from an XJ might bolt in. You consider things like this when you've got more time than money. :grinpimp:
