You'll have to use the 2.8L flywheel. If the Jeep originally had a 4.0 in it and still has the AX15 tranny, then you'll have to use a 96-00 Dodge Dakota 2.5L bellhousing and a Camaro flywheel. Probably not worth all of this effort.

This is the same engine as used in late 80's early 90's CHev Lumina and Beretta. Guy i knew took a 2.8 out of his XJ and dropped it in his Beretta, said it was a direct bolt on.
