OK.. I am not stranger to engines, engine swaps and getting greasy so I can handle the technical answer. My question is. If the 2.9L and 4.0L are both Cologne V6's why can't I just swap the intake and wiring from a 2.9 onto the 4.0? Or just the 4.0L short block into the BII? Why must you do the wiring and everything? Is there a difference in the head bolt pattern? Or does the speed density computer not know what to make of the 4.0L making the whole wiring swap necessary? What is the reasoning behing this? It seems to me you could just drop in the 4.0L long block, throw in the 2.9L intake and plug everything in. What gives?
