Another 4.0 swap question

[McSyd]

Ok so I’ve got a 4.0 from a 92 XJ. Freshly rebuilt. Got it on the chassis today. It’ll be carbed with an MC 2150 carb on the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l intake. HEI distributor. Want to keep it simple.

My issue is I cannot for the life of me figure out the belt routing and accessories brackets. I installed a YJ water pump. But things aren’t making sense. All of the brackets are from the XJ. So how the heck does this need to be? I’ve attached a few photos. I did not install the power steering pump yet (need to clean that up tomorrow) and I have the XJ ac compressor I can use as an idler pulley if I ha e to.

You’ll see in the photo I circled where the front alternator bracket doesn’t want to line up correctly. I have a 1/2” gap. Might just be that the bracket was bent. But I’m not sure. I’m not certain where there needs to be a stud bs a bolt.

Where do I mount the mechanical fan? To the water pump or to the idler pulley off to the side? Do I use the XJ fan, a cj fan or do I need a YJ fan?

So if you’ve done this swap, I’m all ears. If you have any photos of your engine that’d be a huge help.

Not sure why the photos are sideways. Tried to fix it

Your problem is the XJ ran two fans side by side so the water pump is off center because a electric fan ran next to the one on the pump. You need the pully system for a YJ because it moves the pump to the center with one fan like a CJ.

Ok. I didn’t realize the xj had 2 fans. Do you ha e a photo of the YJ setup? Looks like I may need to run to the you-pull-it yard Saturday. Want to know what all I’m looking for.

Thanks

I don't I have never had a YJ but I have had many XJs.These guys are close to me and may have everything you need.
