Have you thought about using the 4.0 electronics on the 2.9l? Might have to fab a crank sensor mount, but it might solve the wiring issue...

There is no tone ring to run the crank sensor.

Personally, I think he best bet to so research the wiring others have done for wiring the 4.0 into a 2.9 dash and reverse the process.

The tone ring for the 4.0 is part of the balance. I honestly do not know if it will swap onto a 2.9.
