Before we start, no this is not what i am considering doing to the car now. But out of curiosity, in case I decide to waste some cash, how hard is it to transplant the 5.6 into my XR. Is it like a straight swap, or are there things like engine mount loactions and other things to consider when taking on a conversion like this? ECU is the same as well as the wiring? The car would need to be engineered, but would it need EPA tests? I know it is an expensive thing to do, and cheaper to buy an 8 and just transplant stuff over, but where would the challenge be in that. Anyway, I am just curious on the steps involved.
