My credo
If it jams force it, if it breaks it needs replacing anyways.
I was wondering what year 4.0 would basically bolt up to my tranny. I have the M50D transmission with the BW13-50 transfer case. I am not looking to do anything on the running gear until next spring. I wanted to get a jump on the engine work this winter.

Any 4.0 will bolt up. It's all the wiring that ends up being the problem with this swap.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
