i am in no way qualified to give you an honest correct answer...

but the motors from YJ's were all made by AMC..if i am remembering correctly, and so it may be possible to make that swap. no idea how it would run.

sorry if it's no help.

Yeah that will work as the basic engine is the same for all 2.5's
Fuel delivery and engine management changed but the engine itself is basically unchanged except for some bolt size changes on the head bolts but that won't affect you.
