The 2.5 intake is smaller than the 4.0... I've heard / read you can swap a 4.0 throttle body onto a 2.5 and get more air in with some stock 4.0 parts. Try google and see what you come up with. Joe may know details...

The outer diameter of the TB where the intake hose bolts on is the same between the 2.5L/4.0L. The 4.0L TB has more material machined out on the inside. I'm not sure about the air filter box. I doubt Jeep would have built two though.
