I don't think so, the block castings are different. I tried a 96 xj block for a 99 wj and I had no where to mount the engine mounts. The holes are different. Unless you come up with a way to use the xj mounts in the wj. Thats probably why you can buy it for cheap. no one seems to have these engines around. If you find one, you are lucky.

Don't Grand Cherokees have a V8? I really think there will need to be some serious modding to do that. Let us know if you do it!
I may want to put a G Cherokee V8 in an old XJ!
