Re: 91 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 engine transplant.
 

Sure Bill, here you are:

http://www.off-road.com/jeep/new/40conv.html

To quote from the site:

From here, put your carb back onto the intake manifold including all the
vacuum lines, fuel lines, etc as you took them off.

End quote.

And the parts needed list:

4.0L Head Provided by Koller Dodge
- 4.0L Head Gasket
- 4.0L Exhaust Manifold or Header
- Exhaust Manifold Gasket
- 4.0L Valve Cover
- 4.0L Valve Cover Gasket
- Tubes of QuikSteel Epoxy Putty
- Sand Paper (fine)

--------------------

Note no intake needed as the old 258 one with it's carb will be used.
