Is it easy to swap 4 cylinder Jeep?
Not an easy bolt-in swap, the motor mount perches need cut from the frame and new ones welded in place. Then there’s all the wiring involved. Go with a better drivetrain so you have something better than another run of the mill 4.0L jeep with a hacked up install.

What kind of engine does a Jeep Wrangler have?
From the early-1990s to 2002, Dodge and Jeep vehicles could be optioned with a fuel-injected 5.2L or 5.9L Magnum V8. Power numbers range from 220 to 245 ponies and 295 to 335 lb-ft of torque depending on the year and cubic inches.

Which is better a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder Jeep?
Then there’s all the wiring involved. Go with a better drivetrain so you have something better than another run of the mill 4.0L jeep with a hacked up install. In general, if you want the 4.0 (which is a great low end torque motor) sell the 4 banger and buy the I6. It will most likely be cheaper and better.
