The 2.8, 2.9 and 4.0 all share the same mounting configuration. Physically they will bolt in aside from the wiring. In most cases the 4.0 will destroy a 2.8/2.9 transmission if you are hard on it. The problem with you having the 2.8 is you will have to change over the entire fuel system due to the EFI.
