I have a '86 Jeep Wagoneer XJ 4x4. It has the 2.8l in it with a bad tranny. Will a 4.0l I6 from a '00 Cherokee fit with little to no modifications?

I bought a 1986 Jeep XJ Wagoneer 4x4 for $400 from a buddy of mine. It has the 2.8l V6, but it has a bad transmission, and this motor doesnt have the power I need. There is a wrecked 2000 Cherokee XJ with 130,422 miles for $275 at a local junkyard, and the motor, transmission and interior are like new.
