That sounds like an outstanding deal. How many miles were on the
Cherokee? If the mileage is kinda high, you might consider rebuilding
the engine and "oh by the way" converting it to a 4.5L stroker:

Re: 4.0L Upgrade Questions
Sounds good! Have fun with the swap. Does the Cherokee come with the NP231
or NP242 t-case?
I used to live in Belpre, OH a few moons ago and remember that drive to
Columbus well.
Don't get shot at on the way home...

Re: 4.0L Upgrade Questions
I am very stoked about the swap! It will be a good winter project. I
am actually working on the Jeep by Stockport, which isn't too far from
Belpre. I also make many frequent stops in Marietta for parts, cool
town.
Here is the '98 XJ info..
Engine: 4.0L MPI
Transmission: AW4 (Auto)
Transfer Case: NP231 (Command-Trac)
Axle Gearing: 3.55
Miles on Eng: 157K
The miles are a bit high, but you wouldn't know it from how well it
runs. My '89 Wrangler has the NP231 t.case as well.. would the
driveshaft from an '89 YJ NP231 fit into a '98 XJ NP231? The only
differences in the NP231's is the input shaft being 21 or 23 spline..
but this shouldn't be an issue regarding the driveshaft right?

As far as I know, sounds like the driveshaft should bolt right up. Have
fun.
