I'll likely be looking at a B2 today (possible purchase) with a 4.0L swap done. What are the look-for's to see if this has been done properly?
Thanks.

mainly make sure that the wiring isn't a hackjob, if the wiring looks stock or atleast clean that would be a good sign.

Thanks holyford.
I drove a 4.0 B2 yesterday.
Wow! I see what you guys mean when you say this is the swap to do. The engine was awesome. Unfortunately, with this vehicle, as soon as I put it into 4x4, it felt and sounded awful, and must have some kind of drivetrain / transfer case problem.
