The motor mounts are different. .
The locations on the frame/unibody are the same i think.

[SeniorGustas]

never done a motor swap or rebuilt an engine before. an ideas on how much it would cost to rebuild it myself not including the price of the engine?

Yes, motor mounts are different

[SeniorGustas]

so if i had a donor car with an I6 would i be able to drop it in with its motor mounts?

donor xj with the I6 would drop right in if you already had the I6

[SeniorGustas]

awesome, i wouldnt have to work with my tranny or anything else right? theyd bolt right up? because i have the 4 speed manuel, hopefully one day switching to a 5 speed

Just make sure you swap over the wiring harness, computer and all sensors.....
You'll have a hard time going from a Renix body to HO drive train but it can be done.
The bell housings from one to the other are going to be different too I think.

You need to retain the transmission from the donor that has the I6. The 4 cylinder tranny will not bolt to the I6. Wiring is slightly different from a manual and automatic too.
