The 4.0 will bolt right up to the 2.9 trans. You will just need to figure out what wires goto the neutral safty switch and the reverse lights. I'd use the 4.0 and the 4.0 harness and computer.

B-BII The trans is different. It will not bolt up. The swap to a 302 will only add 150-200lbs. So I dont think there is a weight issue there. You can get a little more top end in a 2.9 by adding roller rockers from a chevy but you will have to have the heads driled and tapped for studs. On the other hand the 4.0 motor rocks over the 2.9 and is almost the same motor so very little mods are needed in the swap. If your interested in doing one I can steer ya in the right directon on that.

99% of all the wiring is the same. The only difference in the 2.9 and 4.0 harness is 3 wires. And they are for the cam and crank sencers.
