Any GM V6 up to the 3.8L.  The 2.5L uses a GM 60* bell housing bolt pattern.

The 4.0L uses an AMC bolt pattern so that is a no-go.

AX5 bolt pattern won't match the AX15's's either.

You can look here. Not sure if they do or not.

For those Jeep gents that have broken AX5's laying around, Don't ditch the bellhousing. It may be used in a Toyota application and can bolt up any GM 60 degree engine (3.4/3.1/2.8 Chevy V6, Buick 3800 V6, Isuzu 3.2/3.5 V6, etc....) to the Toyota G series and W series tranismissions.

Pic 1 is a Toyota W58 out of a Supra hooked up to an AX5 bellhousing.

Pic 2 shows the AX5 bell planted up to a Chevy Camaro 3.4L V6.

Pic 3 For this to work with the AX5 bell, you'd need the thick (heavy) flywheel from a Camaro/Firebird. It places the clutch disk back far enough to completely engage the splines on the short W/G series input shaft. That's got to be at least 1 3/4" from the back of the block to the front face of the flywheel. The S10 flywheel is shorter and won't work.

This info was copied from this link It's about 1/2 way down.

The block is the same but some internals and all of the accessories are different.

If you stripped the block to the core, yes, it should.  Really though, $8-900 for a used core isn't a good deal.  Might as well have a rebuilder order you a reman. block.  Or just keep looking for a TJ 2.5L complete.  www.car-parts.com is the place to look.
