Just to clear up a miss-conception on the 4.0 lit.. the YJ Jeep and the late 80's Cherokee were the first to use the 4.0 l it is mpi fuel injected. The 4.2 L was used in all CJ models, it is carbureted.
The T5 trans was used in CJ's in 1982 -1986. That is where the 10 spline input shaft comes from for the in put shaft swap into the T5 so they can fit into our old Chevy pick-ups. The nv4500 was never a oem option
Only the ax15 and it was the latest 5 exp offered. I would go with the 4.0 if I were to do the jeep swap. But only with the engine after it went with the Chryler fuel injection system. Parts are easier to get and diagnostics are friendlier. The Renault /AMC electronics are archaic at best . Just realized I echoed some of the previous post...sorry.
