98 motor in a 97 wiring
Ok so I'm not new to Cherokees obviously but I'm having an issue wiring up my 98 motor into my 97 xj. A lot of the connections seem to be different? Can anyone clarify? It's an early 97 xj built in 96.

Most of the sensors '97-'99 are identical, until you get to the transmission. The engines themselves are totally the same. Sensors and wiring are tied to the PCM, NOT the engine - you could drop a 1987 block in there if you wanted to.
Hitting the JY for missing parts seems like a good idea.
