Oh, I forgot to mention, about the radiator.  On a 2.5L you can mount the radiator to the stock mounts.  I forget if the flanges on the radiator are long enough to span the gap.  I think they are.

iirc there was a company advertising a custom grill that fit the YJ but looked like a CJ, it was supposed to be a direct fit to give the YJ a CJ look.

I've been checking OMIX-ADA lately and I've seen some nice custom jeep parts from them...
I don't know why they did not let this grill out in the market, could have been a nice MOD for a YJ...
Cost of production was too high.
