what are the differences in these motors?
if i got a 99 Cherokee 4cyl long block would my accessories bolt over from my 2.5 in my yj?

is it really that much? from what i can tell is its a 5hp and 11 lb-ft increase.

isnt it basically the same engine. im trying to find info on it. i guess i asking if anyone has done this before

Should be the same basic engine, with minor differences in fuel delivery and engine driven accessories. Just use the XJ block and head and you should be ok.

do you know what the differences might be?

all i can find is that the 2.5 was used in the following vehicles:

• 1984–1986 Jeep CJ-7
• 1983.5–1984 AMC Eagle
• 1984–2000 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)
• 1986–1992 Jeep Comanche (MJ)
• 1987–2002 Jeep Wrangler (YJ/TJ)
• 1988–1989 Eagle Premier
• 1996–2002 Dodge Dakota
