I'm not too knowledgeable with the ZJ-XJ models but I don't think they are interchangable.

I need an engine for the xj but the zj is in top shape and I would love to get enough lift on it to clear the 34's

zj and xj platform are different, it'd be easier to pull the zj motor and stick in the xj, zj's are a different ball game to lift that high.
 you can put the xj coils on the frt of the zj and its own frt coils on the rear for about 3' lift but then control arms and track bars come into play. naxja and nagca both have write ups on these.
build it, beat it, break it, fix it, repeat
