1987 is Renault or ACM? Is possible to install 4.0 with transmission to this car? Can transmission fits on next unit behind 2.5 transmission? Car has AW4.

Yes, I know, there is original place for spare. I want original american radio AM/FM/cassette, not any european. What brand of radio have been used ? I will try to search for it on e-bay, or somethink like that. I want my car in original condition. Like when it was sold new in California in 1987.

No, no, you don't understand me :-) I want keep my car in original condition, but many people told me, that spare parts for my car will be nightmare to find, because 2,5L autmatic is very rare here. I'm asking only if main parts, like engine, transmission and other, are interchangable with 4.0 jeep, that is very common here. I'm afraid, when something goes wrong with engine, or transmission, if I can put inside parts from 4.0... I saw only one 2.5L Cherokee ever, and I bought it... :-D

Drive it and enjoy it. Cross bridges as you come to them.

Swapping a 4.0 in place of the 2.5 is another matter, nothing mates up. It's a considerable, but not impossible project.
I'm pretty sure in 87 it was an AW4 behind the engine if you have the auto, but it isn't directly interchangeable with the 4.0 AW4. Different bolt pattern on the bellhousing. Yours has the GM 60 degree 'v6' pattern. The internals, except for the torque converter i believe are entirely the same though, so again- parts should be reasonably easy to find.

Yes, I have AW4. Maybe parts should be easy to find in United States. But here I don't think so. Maybe if someone be willing to send me some parts by post, but it could be expensive too. I'm praying for automatic and engine. Everything else is relatively easy to find.
