Thanks.
Possible, yes. Cost effective, probably not.
You also have to transplant the electronics (computers etc)
By the time your done the cost will probably be close to that
of a newer used Jeep or a swap-out to a compleatly different motor.

One problem you will encounter is that your Jeep is an OBD I vehicle, and
your proposed power plant is OBD II -- where OBD is the computer that
orchestrates all of the stuff. You will have to acquire the OBD II computer
to go with the donor.
Smog rules in most states say that when the motor is transplanted, the donor
must be brought to the latest spec -- either the spec of the vehicle OR the
spec of the donor motor, whichever is newer. Your Jeep is a 1990. If you
wanted to drop in an older motor, you would have to make that motor comply
with the 1990 rules that apply to your Jeep. But since you want to use a
newer motor, then your Jeep has to be modified to the spec of the motor.

Probably a pain to mount in and get running though I'm sure.
You will not like the 4 cylinder, especially if you ever have to drive on
the freeway. The fuel mileage is not enough better to cover the
dissapointment of less power.

The fuel injection requires a different fuel tank, pump and fuel lines.
I doubt that the TJ tank would fit your vehicle, so this would have to
be a custom installation. Unless you get the transfer case with that
transmission too, although they are similar there is a drive coupler
between the transmission and transfer case that certainly is different.
This part requires disassembly of the transfer case to replace. Your YJ
has a cable drive speedometer. The new engine requires an electronic
drive gizmo to make the vehicle speed sensor work. Motor mounts?
Hooking up the exhaust system? The details will kill you on a
transplant like this. I haven't even begun to list them.
A ring job and bearings on that 258, if you have moderate mechanical
skills and can follow directions, may not be so bad money wise. What is
the compression on your existing engine? You can rent a compression
tester at maybe Autozone or Taylor Rental. Look for equipment and tool
rental in the Yellow Pages. Is it burning oil? It might just be valve
stem seals.
Cheers,

I may be remembering this wrong, but I think that one potential problem will
be the drive shafts. As I remember from research while swapping out a
BA10/5, the AX5 used with the 4-banger is shorter than either the T4/5 or
AX15 by about an inch - enough to make the front shaft too long and the
rear one too short. Take a close look at that.

Fitting the 2.4 lt engine would be a real task. You will definitely need
the computer (PCM), and the dashboard of the 2006 TJ, the fuel pump (inside
the tank) of the 2006 TJ,
the SKIS module and lock (immobilizer) unless you have access to a DRB-III
scan tool from a dealer and know how to disable all the unneeded gizmos.
I wouldn't want to get in this trouble, even if I was given money to do it.
It would really be easier to fit an other FI computer and reprogram it to
run the 2.4lt engine.
If you want fuel economy, and are willing to mess with a difficult engine
swap, you should consider putting a diesel engine in it instead.
This project would cost much more than what you are trying to save. Better
rebuild your current engine.

Y'know, Cooyon, I fail to see the linguistic similarity between 'Dr.
Neuraxis' and 'Llewdellen Williams Hughes III'.
Since you're such a literatus, mayhaps you could could explain -- in
simple terms, so we'll all understand.
