I am purchasing a 4.0L and an AX15. I just want to know if it will fit in the same way as the 2.5 and the AX-5. Like are the engine mounts the same, can I use the same transfer case, is the dana 35 thats in there strong enough to handle the torque?
You'll have to rework the perches that support the engine mounts, totally different than from the 2.5L.
You should be able to reuse your trans skid, just using different holes for the transmission mount. Like mentioned you'll need a different 231 input gear, I've got some if you need one.
