If you're referring to the magnum motor, then yes. This guy did it with a 5.2 which as we know is essentially the same block externally except for the driver's side motor mount (or was it the pass side?).

Yeah, it isn't the cleanest swap around, but it shows it can be done. I was looking into swapping one into my XJ a little while ago and found a few cleaner swaps that had been done, but I can't remember where I found them.

These guys appear to make a stand alone harness to help take some of the Gremlins out of the electrical end of the swap.
