i went from a 2.8 carbed to a 2.9 evi with no problem, the 4.0 will bolt in, you ust have to use the clutch and flywheel from your 2.8 for the install. you will also need the complete wiring harness and possibly the fuel pump(not sure) ...... if you got a 90 ish parts truck with a 4.0 you could swap everything in(even the dash) but it takes alot. i would suggest the 2.9 swap, its alot more straight forward and very hard to kill .
