Depends on your definition on "easily". It will bolt to the engine and you'll have to get a clutch pedal installed. At least a couple have down an AX15 swap which is the 5 speed available 91+. The 90 Comanche transmission should be a Peugeit BA-10 and not very desirable in the Jeep world.

I put a 4.0 5 speed in my wagon. New crossmember and driveshaft are the biggest worries. The rest is just time consuming little stuff.

The pedals may not be the same.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
